I would hope they exchange Internet traffic as well.
- mrngm 1y agoThat really depends on local policy. It could be that an AS x present on multiple IXes (assuming another peer AS y is present on the same IXes) prefers sending traffic for AS y on IX t, while AS y prefers sending traffic for AS x on IX v. Of course, the goal is to transport traffic in many directions, but in essence only routing information is explicitly exchanged.
