Hi Iljitsch,I would not consider Sprint NAP, a place closed to new customers for several years, an important interconnect location in the US. ATM based IXs are not as participant rich as they were 2-3 years ago.
The fastest growing US interconnect locations are cross-connect enabled. PAIX & Equinix. Equinix-Ashburn, PAIX-Seattle, Equinix-Newark and Equinix-Dallas and others have seen participation grow with a diverse blend of traffic from cable operators, telcos and content providers.
Tier-1 means what? Look for growing sources of traffic. Your mileage may vary, -ren At 11:48 AM 5/17/2002 +0200, Iljitsch van Beijnum wrote:
A bunch of us are thinking about multihoming solutions for IPv6. For this purpose, it is useful to know a bit more about how actual networks (rather than the ones existing only as ASCII drawings) interconnect. So: - What are the 12 - 18 most important interconnect locations in the world? MAE East, the Ameritech, Sprint and PacBell NAPs, PAIX, LINX and AMS-IX come to mind, but from where I'm sitting it's hard to judge whether others are important or marginal. - To how many of them do typical tier-1 and tier-2 networks connect? - Using private or public interconnects?
