We use the following scheme.
<routername> - <interface designation> <slot number> - <card slot number> [<port number> [s <sub-interface number>].<pop>.cic.net.
where interface designation is [fddi|hssi|ser|ether|fastether|atm|token|pos] i.e.
um1-fastether3-0-0s1.ann-arbor.cic.net
Could we agree on a fixed width interface designation? fe instead of fastether? tk instead of token? etc..
I agree.. Two letters seems quite sufficient for the time being though whose to say it will be in the future. It also tends to fix the size of the hostname.
