What are the, or are there any, major international public exchange points in the Asia-Pacific region? I know about the wwww.ep.net web page listing lots of exchange points. For example, an exchange point with at least two multi-regional/multi-continent ISPs. Europe has the LINX, AMS-IX, dGIX, etc.

Do you think it's _NEW_ for me? I'v want just to highlight this point... Here in Russia .ru sub-root name servers just get funds from the *.ru fee's; and it's wonderful (not for me but in principle) why . owners don't see at least 50% of the *. fee money. And no doubt .com fee should not be 50$/year (for the NETSOL company which MUST pay this fee). // Sorry, I'v add 'nanog' to this post because it's really the question Internet // society should ask now, when a lot of different fee's was introduced. I don't // like to see the ruins of Internet in a few next years... just because some // landlords catched the services which are mandatory for the Internet. > Got news for you ... the root-server.net operators don't see that money > unless they happen to also work for NSI. The other operators don't get a > dime of it. Albeit, they should. Likewise, IANA does not get access to these > funds.

Nortel has a box called a Versalar Switch Router 15000. Is anyone using this in a production network? I am particularly interested in performance information. Regards, Tim -- Timothy Brown tim(a)tux.org
