was covered in previous mail, but
  o it is simpler
  o it is less costly
  o it is more reliable
  o it takes less maintenance by the ix staff
  o it technically works better as it does not add cruft to the bgp
    and bgp paths
  o it allows bi-lateral peering as well as multi-lateral

and for all the above and more, all the exchange points in europe, asia, the
states, ... use it.  only a few folk in isolated areas have been suckered
into the layer 3 tech-nocolianist dependence on a router vendor.
