The basic idea is that you would create a tunnel from your router to the IX (so you do not need local loops, etc), and then peer. You can exchange your prefixes with other members. As (at least to start with) there is no Transit, any damage you do will lead to dirty looks and advice on this list, but no breakage of cat pictures on Facebook.</div><div><br></div><div>Being lazy, I would like this to be a set-and-forget, so registration, tunnel creation, and peering will be self-service. <br></div><div><br></div><div>We have hardware, Soragan has volunteered skills, and I will pay for hosting, etc. <br></div><div><br></div><div>What we would like is to understand:</div><div><ol><li>Is there interest? </li><li>Would you use it?</li><li>Would you help maintain it?
