It sounds like you might not have a lot of time for the EIX WG, but I have a white paper I would like to share at some point (at this RIPE or another). It is called "The Great (Public vs Private) Peering Debate: Peering at 10Gbps" that focuses on an Economic Analysis of 10G Peering from the ISP Perspective. It is demonstrates that even with new and pretty expensive 10G hardware, peering makes sense financially after a few gbps of peering traffic. The Public vs. Private peering part is required for the research because the Peering Coordinator Community points out that the next best alternative to 10G public peering is peeling off cross connects or circuits and private peering, so the paper compares these two options.

The WG session itself will be the same - but the process of deciding which slot we are in on Thursday is still ongoing. The whole RIPE meeting format has been changed to have a long EOF type plenary session with WGs on only the Thursday and Friday am - hence we will only have one slot. f </blockquote></div> -- //------------------------------------------------ // William B.
