Perhaps you can tell me where PSI connects, good sir... By my count it's MAE-East and CIX and nowhere else. There are a few major backbones not at the Chicago NAP. And none of the majors are at MAE-Chicago or any of the MAEs other than East and West.
PSINet connects to MAE-west, MAE-East, MAE-East+, CIX, and the SWAB (little known SMDS Washington (DC) Area Bypass).

I believe we do peer with ANS. However, I am not familiar with the specifics of concurrent PSI/SURAnet T3 and the current state of the ANS routing database. I've forwarded your message on to ground troops in the vicinity to see if they can give you a hand. Thanks, mf P.S. I've edit'ed Cc: to cut down on multiple messages to individuals. (they weren't swallowed by a mailer) ----------
