<p>MICE is officially dropping 1G (on MICE operated switches). The
relevant participants have been notified. We are dropping our 1G
switches at the same time (or shortly before) we move cabinets and
install a new 400G switch.</p>

I agree. In MICE's case, there were 3 participants on the
MICE-operated switches using 1G. There are another 3 on remote
switches.<br>

<p>Interestingly, while the Open-IX website [1] says, "Minimum port
speeds of 1GE and 10GE", the actual document [2] says, "The IXP
MUST offer IEEE 802.3 Ethernet connectivity on a common switch
infrastructure. Service offerings MAY be available at any IEEE
defined rate".</p>
