PeeringDB - why is IX data different?
PeeringDB is maintained by it's peering users
• It's not maintained by the IXs
• Some IXs have good data; some don't
PeeringDB entries can't be added by IXs
• Your data is your data
PeeringDB is maintained by its users
• Administrators and developers are from peering
community
