Re: Domain names for ISP infrastructure links

We use the following scheme.

<routername> - <interface  designation> <slot number> - <card slot number> 
[<port number> [s <sub-interface number>].<pop>.cic.net.

where interface designation is [fddi|hssi|ser|ether|fastether|atm|token|pos]
i.e.

um1-fastether3-0-0s1.ann-arbor.cic.net


Could we agree on a fixed width interface designation?  fe instead of
fastether?  tk instead of token?  etc..

I agree.. Two letters seems quite sufficient for the time being though
whose to say it will be in the future. It also tends to fix the size
of the hostname.
