[ixpmanager] Informational community on route server for physical port location

[Barry O'Donovan]

Hi André,

There's documentation for this at:

https://docs.ixpmanager.org/features/route-servers/

Plus see the presentation I gave at euro-ix in Galway earlier in the year.

I have to confess, I'm struggling to see the value in this. What are the 
use cases that people would use to filter in this information?

If it's just information, this information is available to all members 
within IXP Manager and also via the IX-F Export.

Yeah, I don't think that detail is in the detail sent to the template so 
it would require a feature request but also a compelling argument to add it.

Happy to discuss in person next week also,
