Also relevant: the ams-ix is a service, not a colocation
facility.
They basically run a ridiculously high traffic ethernet
platform
that is distributed over four locations in Amsterdam.
Most of the peering is done on the public ethernet (v)lan,
though
you can get extra ports or a q-tagged port and private vlans
if
you want.
