Just would like to have a clarifcation regarding on the Minutes of Address
SIG Session, on the IXP section:
Please correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there is an exception on the routing
restriction when there is an MLPA (Multi Lateral Peering Agreement) between
the IXP and the ISP ?
I look forward to hearing from you,
Regards,
Ahmad Alkazimy

APNIC wishes to thank the local host, KRNIC, for their

very high quality conference.
