Hi,
I'd like to speak with people who were / are working in IX points and/or have
knowledge about the infrastructure of IX points.
We , a small group of researchers , have started a Project called Prix [
http://prix.uprr.pr ] which has the intentions of creating a large table for
those who would like to sit down, in other terms an internet exchange point
where all the participants can peer.
Our main goal is to improve the existing connectivity between the major backbone
providers and improve the connectivity between them with peering locally instead
of peering somewhere in the states, which is couple of thousands miles far from
Puerto Rico.
We believe improving the network connectivity of the island will definately led
those who live in Puerto Rico to think of using VoIP technologies more often.
We, myself and a friend of mine who is also participating in this project, will
be participating in NANOG and hopefully can meet with those who has experience
in order to get recommendations about hardware/software and policies.
Thank you
Mehmet Akcin, PRIX

yes it would be.
everything in language A has a strange connotation in some other
language B. e.g., my name is great fun in brit-english speaking
land.

Mehmet did not say so, but I assume his mailing list will be in
spanish and that PRIX is OK in his language.
Actually the list will be in English mostly since we will have international
participants who will be honoring us with their great helps. I think PRIX is a
good name , I mean the name is not really important, we can even name it as
NONAMEIX as long as it's working and helping the community to grow and to work
better.

There is already an IX called DIX (Denmark) so PRIX should work as well

There's an exchange called the PNIX in Palmerston North, New Zealand, too.

Now that the juvenalia have stopped making fun of homonyms, yes, there
is a lot of expertise around here, and I'm sure folks will help.
