Each peering LAN has a BGP route collector.  A BGP session with the collector is pre-configured for each peer, and used for BGP statistics gathering.  Peering sessions to route-collectors are done in advance of port turn-up, and set to passive, so we will automatically respond to, and activate peering sessions from active peers.  BGP prefix information gathered is made available via the Looking Glass as a diagnostics tool for peers.  We heartily encourage all peers to peer with the route-collector at each of the INXes that they are present at.

We use distinctly separately ASNs for the route-collector and the route-server, as we expect that for their own purposes, not all peers will want to peer with the BGP route servers.  While we would prefer to use a completely separate ASN for this, AfriNIC would not allocate us a third ASN explicitly for this purpose, so we are re-using the AS number that we use for each of the INX management networks.
