Even with large providers, if you peer with them, you generally know the peering coordinator by name. In some cases, you know their assistant by email. :) Deepak Jain AiNET -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu]On Behalf Of Andy Dills Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 4:47 PM To: Dwight Ernest Cc: NANOG () merit edu Subject: Re: Survey: Peering Staffing Levels On Wed, 12 Jun 2002, Dwight Ernest wrote:
I'm interested in getting some idea of the level of staffing provided by NSPs and ISPs in their peering departments. In fact, I've been asked by my management to provide as much info about such levels as possible, without a need to disclose the identity of any responding company.
Forgive me if I'm just used to small companies, but why would you really need more than one full time person (with an assistant possibly) in your peering department? Sure, the job requires a very specific skill set (something along the lines of an engineer with an MBA), but the day-to-day interactions and changes regarding peering would seem to be minimal. In fact, my impression seems to be that you don't really need anybody on staff to not return emails to peering@, which is seemingly how most providers deal with it. :) Note: I have absolutely no experience or data to base my assumptions on, so don't slap me too hard.
