(Forwarded from a posting I sent to OttIX members)
Hi all,
Bill Norton of NANOG and Equinix fame has put together a web site dedicating to IX peering, complete with his famous whitepapers. I used a couple of very old versions way back when to convince people at my day job of the value of establishing an IX, and after some searching I found Jake's original web page describing something called OttIX.
There have been a lot of updates to his white papers over the years and I'm sure everyone here will find them to be of interest:

Of course I'm preaching to the converted, but if anyone here encounters folks who have heard of Internet exchanges, IXs or exchange points and hesitate about connecting to any, the whitepapers might help.
Thanks,
