Here is a traceroute from OrbiNet to GBnet accross the InteRed exchange.
My laptop, roam, is PPP to OrbiNet, tracing to a GBnet host.

roam.psg.com:/usr/home/randy> traceroute pan.gbm.net
traceroute to pan.gbm.net (206.136.169.2), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 pm4.pty.com (208.135.107.34) 109.309 ms 105.401 ms 110.772 ms
2 208.135.107.1 (208.135.107.1) 110.615 ms 104.814 ms 101.088 ms
3 208.135.64.102 (208.135.64.102) 108.088 ms 111.4 ms 110.704 ms
4 208.195.202.153 (208.195.202.153) 111.261 ms 117.293 ms 111.353 ms
5 ns.pan.gbm.net (206.136.169.2) 113.189 ms 111.236 ms 450.93 ms

I suspect that InteRed is the first neutral exchange point in ALyC.

Randy,
Excellent work!!
Thanks a lot for your help. Yes, I believe InteRed in Panama to be the
first such neutral interchange in Latin America. It is our hope that other
countries in the region may use this as an example.
Un abrazo,

Not of which I am aware. Dave Meyer and I are just helping with the
routing. Here is a bit of what I have learned.

o Non-profit, open, cooperation between academic and commercial providers.
Funded, at least partially, by OAS through SENACYT. Cooperative board of
directors and all that stuff.

o It is router (7206), as opposed to L2, based. Links are E1 over dry
copper using PairGain HDSL kit. Dry copper is $45/mo here.

o Players so far are
- PaNet - the old academic net
- OrbiNet - commercial provider
- C-Com - commercial provider
- SinfoNet - commercial provider
- GBM - commercial provider
