The RA is broken, just relabeling work of Ripe and mess it upp is not very usefull for the Global Internet. Ripe-81 (that most of this is based on) was supposed to be a start of a toolkit for ISP's, not a tol for someone who think they are the network Police. -Peter

I've also heard a rumor that at least part of the convention was due to the MAE being called Metropolitan Area Ethernet which was, again, I believe coined by Andrew Partan of UUNET. Perhaps term IXP, IntereXchange Point could be used. Too many acronyms has long been a trend in technology. :-) -jh-

I was looking at the NANOG home page and looking for information on the next NANOG meeting. The only thing I could find was http://www.merit.edu/routing.arbiter/NANOG/mtg-9602/.index.html Update on the Next NANOG Meeting The next NANOG meeting will be hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center and held February 15-16 in San Diego. Watch this space for further details! I would like to go and also get my reservations in now to save $$. If anyone has more information or could point me to a better page, that would be good. thanks Christian Nielsen Vyzynz International Inc. cnielsen(a)vii.com,CN46,KB7HAP Phone 801-568-0999 Fax 801-568-0953 PS :) Private Email christian(a)nielsen.net ********************************************************************* * Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail will cost $500/message under USC 47 * * which can be found online at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/47/* *********************************************************************

I think the term "interconnect" is fairly generic. I have often heard some of the providers refer to the MAEs and NAPs as "public interconnects"... However, I think folks use the term "MAE" and "NAP" to refer to different implementations of a "public interconnect"... It is probably an oversimplification to say they are all the same thing. -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob(a)academ.com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: {mcsun|amdahl}!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine.
