[PDB-tech] API - question about ixlan and netix

[Mike Hammett]

Most networks I work with are too lazy to create all of the PeeringDB entries. I do like the ability for an IX to enter in the information and the network just has to confirm it for it to actually be viewable to the public.

pls keep in mind thaat PeeringDB follows a strict ownership-of-data 
rule. That means it's up to the networks to decide whether they want to 
be listed as an IXP member or not. There might be several reasons why a 
network wants to be not listed. Otoh networks will not be any longer 
allowed to put in IP addresses as these data "belongs" to the IXP. Thus 
iff network and IP agree an entry will be visible. This should also 
remove any stale entries if the IXP takes care for its data. When in 
full production PeeringDB 2.0 will really rock!
