Problem with the Definition.

[edit]

According to Martin Brown's talk @Nanog, The Default-Free Zone (DFZ) is the set of ASes without a transit provider.

So really there is only 1 default freezone with well know AS's Kendirangu (talk) 17:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IXPs

[edit]
Large Internet Exchange Points (IXP)—in that they typically include full routes as seen by multiple ISPs, as well as customer routes, in their exchange fabric—are extremely good places to assess global Internet routing [4].

There are several Definitions about IXPs. one of them is, that IXPs provide Layer 2 only. If they provide dynamic routingprotocols its usually only in the form of a route reflector, where participation is optional. THis in turn means that the "exchange fabric" doesnt know anything about the routes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.194.80.18 (talk) 19:05, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

[edit]

The statistics from 2014, as stated in the article itself, change weekly. There are very out of date, and more recent statistics are available; however, the resource cited updates weekly. It seems to me like it would be a big burden to constantly update the article every week with the exact numbers. Should an aggregate be used instead ie about 800,000; or should the section be removed? I don’t think it is at all helpful as-is Pokeswap (talk) 14:58, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
