As an Internap customer, I have been investigating this as well. I'm not sure when PNET got rolled out, but as best I can tell:: a) It is treated as an optional/another transit provider. E.G. When I have investigated changing routing policies to direct traffic to blocks over specific peers I have been given stats on all transit options and PNET was one of them. b) It's a fairly widespread mesh between PNAP's. I believe I have seen what appears to be private-peering between PNET and some large web properties. c) It certainly seemed like there was routing instability inside of PNET last week. d) I have noticed that the "default best" connection from Internap to various locations seems to have changed away from PNET, where it was going before. My guess is that the PNET internal connectivity is primarily MPLS based, as I have not seen TDM speeds across the PNET links, but rather "Internet" speeds. I'm not sure how PNET relates to PNAP-PNAP speeds and associated SLA's from Internap. --D On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 9:13 AM, Randy Epstein <repstein () chello at> wrote:
Thurber, PNET (AS22212) is looked upon by InterNAP's PNAPs (its various ASes) as just another transit provider in the mix. So yes, InterNAP technically peers (under AS22212), but there is no guarantee its various PNAPs would choose that path, depending upon a number of factors.

Specifaly how it relates to their PNAP architecture? Is Internap now doing peering? I was under the impression that their entire business model was based around isolated PNAPs and being a backboneless provider. Attempts at getting an explanation from Internap have been fruitless.
