Re: LINX
Linx has been geographically distributed in multiple locations for a very long time now. So are all major European exchanges.
It is kind'a interesting to see a guy screaming "Scary Russians" when the Russians have found out EXACTLY what he is saying a couple of years back and have mandated their own infra, peering points, transit links, etc be brought up to relevant resilience to deal with an attack on them. They have a law to do so failing to secure them is a criminal offense for the peering point or transit link operator.
In any case, the weak points are not such buildings in the middle of inhabited areas. The weak points are at sea. All it takes is one trawler with one trawl going around several bays in Cornwall to take out half of Europe Transatlantic capacity. There is nothing to stop it either - the coast guard is down to a handful of ships nowdays courtesy of a series of "defense reviews". They are not looking for anyone trying to deliberately attack it either.
