Hurricane Electric AS6939

Generally one would order a circuit (aka wave) between your location and
the IX fabric at the interchange if you're not at the site you're wanting
to peer at.

For instance, the network I am the network engineer for has a circuit which
terminates into the Seattle IX (SIX) fabric.   We don't have any other
presence in Seattle (or Washington for that matter) at this point - our
circuit connects directly to our port on the Exchange.   We're considering
adding a similar link to another exchange point somewhere to the east or
southeast of us.   I haven't looked at the graphs recently, but it's not
uncommon for >50% of our traffic to come from the exchange.   And yes,
we're peered with Hurricane and others there.

We're also looking at dropping 1U or so of equipment in so we can pick up
some transit as well, but that's a story for a different day about the joys
of providing internet in the less populated parts of the country.

In your case, it also looks like there are also some peering options at the
datacenters you are currently at as well.   You may want to do some more
research to determine how that might work in your situation.   PeeringDB is
a good resource along with google searches for "peering 100 Taylor" or
"peering austin data foundry"
