EP.NET ???

[bmanning () ISI EDU]

        There have been a number of questions that have been fielded
        wrt the EP.NET domain and traceroute failures within that
        domain.  For your edification, here is a brief note on the EP.NET
        domain.
       
        EP.NET operated as a service by the RA for exchange points around 
        the globe.  Any exchange point may become part of the EP.NET domain.
        The default assignment algorithm follows.  The next level
        identifies the specific exchange.  The next level identifies
        the attaching organization.

        So, the default for BillsBait&SushiShop (BBSS) at MAE-WEST is:

                        bbss.mae-west.ep.net

        When BBSS attachs to the AADS NAP, the default name is:

                        bbss.aads.ep.net

        Selection of provider specific names is encouraged.
        So when BBSS gets around to it, they may change the names to
        something like this:

                mae-west.bbss.org
                aads.bbss.org
