Just out of curiosity on this topic. Is there anyone who ever managed 
to get a distributed peering point to work? If I remember history 
somewhat correct, the first attempt was D-GIX back in 1993(?). That 
failed (if Peter or someone else who was at KTHNOC back then is reading 
maybe you can give the facts), and I think I know of 3-4 other attempts 
that failed.

Anyone care to shed any light on this?

Best regards,
