I'm not trying to imply anything, just that there is a current limit on customer connections there. Your routing through Pennsauken seems to be pretty event free, so maybe Sprint simply wants the NAP to stay optimum and not overloaded. This would be a Good Thing.

We've seen the SprintNAP as a good place to send data to Sprintlink and MCI - and UUNET, when we were peering with them there. AviFYI Sprint is not allowing anything larger than 6Mb from Pensauken, circa April 4, 1997, for customer connections that is.

And the important thing is how many providers does someone peer, not how many exchange points they're connected to. For the price of one Sprint-NAP connection, I can get severalconnectionsto Canada. And we have a lot more customers in Canada than at the Sprint-NAP. We already peer with everyone at the Sprint-NAP, or been turned down by them elsewhere. So one more exchange point doesn't buy much. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representationThe SprintNAP is a much less congested place than MAE-East (though most providers also have less capacity out of it [besides Sprintlink, GSL, ICM, etc...])...
