Description

Route servers are the most important service (other than moving packets itself) on an internet exchange fabric, however in most exchanges peering with them is not mandatory.

This talk aims to answer the question of how effective route servers are and distributing routes to many networks, using the large internet exchange deployment footprint of the bgp.tools route collector network, we will look at how relevant internet exchange routes servers are, and how many people (and who) actually import from them.
