Equinix -- Good High Bandwidth Providers -- Verio??
by Flint Barber 12 Nov '02

12 Nov '02

Does anyone know how well Verio is connected in the Equinix sites? Would they recommend them for GigE capacity links, there or in general. I haven't explored Verio in a couple of years, but they seem to be a stable company with a good network. I know they had a change when NTT took the reigns. Thoughts? Comments? on doing business with them? Mostly from a technical standpoint please. Reachability, latency, loss, burst capacity in regards to Verio specifically. We do > 1GB regularly on diverse links and have seen gig links burst to 70-80% for a particular site. Commentary on Williams WCG would be a bonus. -flint

None
by Harsha Narayan 12 Nov '02

Hi, Can anyone please tell me the answer to the following question? How do ISPs manage the allocations they get from the RIRs? More specifically, do they make the assignments from this sequentially or not? Are multihoming assignments to customers amidst non-multihoming assignments? I ask this because /23s and /24s seem to be scattered over a wide area - they are not adjacent to each other. Harsha.

Distinguishing multihoming from traffic engg.
by Harsha Narayan 12 Nov '02

12 Nov '02

Hi, How does one find out if a prefix is due to multihoming or traffic engineering if the Origin AS is different from that of the parent prefix and there is no Origin AS path-prepending? (apart from looking up whois) Even if there is Origin AS path-prepending how do we know that the prefix is due to traffic engineering and not due to multihoming? Roughly what percentage of prefixes which are holes that have an Origin AS different from that of the parent would be due to due to multihoming? Harsha.
