Great. Regarding the node we run @Hivane/34019, we are in the process of
connecting it directly to some parisian IXes. At the moment, we have
contacted FranceIX, Equinix-Paris, and Sfinx, and FranceIX accepted the
connexion.

How do you think to proceed ? Using various lg/route-servers ?

It sure may be a bonus. However, routing seems to be weird. For example,
in Paris, we receive almost much traffic from... .kr ! :-)
