Second: allowing such a customer, or an NSP, to attach web services directly to the FDDI ring at the NAP.
This is a security problem, if there is no switch in the middle and each host are induvidually attached to the switch. Next problem is that a host needs to knew what router to send a packet to for a particular destination, so either it points default at one of the NAP routers, and packets traverse the NAP twice, or the host impleements BGP and has a full set of routes. So host at a the NAP media should be 'strongly not recomended'. An interesting scenario is, a router with two FDDI interfaces, one to the host and one to the NAP. It now comes down to if it's worth the real_estate to have the host there. --Peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
