Indeed. Most of the L2 IXes run on very “cost-optimized” solutions just to switch as fast as they can without going in details of what actually is being switched - at least in Europe. To do some additional checks would require extensive testing, platforms capable of doing this in predictable manner (stability, performance) and obviously - a lot more work than it costs today. -- "There's no sense in being precise when | Łukasz Bromirski you don't know what you're talking | jid:lbromir...@jabber.org about."
