[arin-ppml] Feedback on ARIN 53 question on micro-allocations for IXPs

[Owen DeLong]

I think that if it’s a cache that is serving the IX (i.e. the IX member networks) over the IX peering VLAN, that’s perfectly valid.

Even knowing the positive impact a hosted content directly connected to a IXP makes it is their business to being their own IP address not the IXP and to be fair if you think of any CDN service they all have total means to do that. Therefore IXP allocations should be used for IXP own usage, so internal Infrastructure and to connect members and things should not be mixed up.
