Sorry I was not able to make it to NANOG to present, but I wanted to answer one question. Avi Freedman asked what would we do if a airplane crashed into the side of the Atlanta-NAP. The Atlanta-NAP is at 230 Peachtree on the 5th floor. There are two buildings around this building that go up to the 8th floor. If a airplane was to crash in the Atlanta-NAP direction it would not hit our building. If it did hit the other side of the building it may cut MCI metro fiber, but we have MFS and Bell South fiber from two different sides and two different power feed to the 5th floor.

Of course, I was half-joking, but why only one Gigaswitch? Why not two, for redundancy, as is implemented at Pennsauken? With a backup FDDI ring? And I assume, spare power supplies and processors? Avi
