Perhaps ICQ comms servers or proxies are located at Leaseweb? The AMS-IX is I think the largest connection between Europe and the US, it makes sense as a central location for a messaging service, or as pass through for messages between Russia and the U.S. (not sure what the lines are like the other way around the world).
- raarts 9y ago> AMS-IX is the largest connection between Europe and the US An IX (Internet eXchange) is not a connection, but is more like a giant switch, where internet access providers send local traffic, so they don't have to send it through their bandwidth providers, to cut bandwidth costs. The AMS-IX is more or less the largest internet exchange in the world.
