Hi,

Thanks guys.
That's just what I needed to know. I guess it would be each ISP's 
responsability to bring their router to the IXP. I was also thinking of a 
contribution from all ISP's involved to buy a single router with multiple 
Serial and ethernet interfaces where they would all connect, something 
like a cisco 7200 series. How does that sound?

Cheers,
