Open-IX协会（OIX）最近发起了一项倡议，在美国建立欧式互联网交换点（IXP）模式，这是一项有趣的策略，可以解决美国一些互联网利益相关者认为对其业务有害的问题；即，可用对等机会缺乏多样性。在本文中，我们考察了在决定Open-IX努力的命运方面必然扮演关键角色的互联网利益相关者。其中包括大型内容和云提供商、cdn、第1层isp、成熟的和一些较新的商业数据中心和托管公司，以及欧洲最大的ixp。特别是，我们评论了这些不同各方目前对公共和私人对等网络的态度，并讨论了一些经济论点，这些论点将最终决定OIX目前所追求的战略是否能够成功实现OIX明确的主要目标——为美国的私人和公共对等网络提供更公平的竞争环境，以便不同对等网络机会的实际需求和供应将反映在成本结构中。
The recently launched initiative by the Open-IX Association (OIX) to establish the European-style Internet eXchange Point (IXP)model in the US suggests an intriguing strategy to tackle a problem that some Internet stakeholders in the US consider to be detrimental to their business; i.e., a lack of diversity in available peering opportunities. We examine in this paper the cast of Internet stakeholders that are bound to play a critical role in determining the fate of this Open-IX effort. These include the large content and cloud providers, CDNs, Tier-1 ISPs, the well-established and some of the newer commercial datacenter and colocation companies, and the largest IXPs in Europe. In particular, we comment on these different parties' current attitudes with respect to public and private peering and discuss some of the economic arguments that will ultimately determine whether or not the currently pursued strategy by OIX will succeed in achieving the main OIX-articulated goal -- a more level playing field for private and public peering in the US such that the actual demand and supply for the different peering opportunities will be reflected in the cost structure.
