I'm updating my list of who is connected to what public exchange point. Here is my current list Exchange IP Network CIX 149.20 Sprint/NY NAP 192.157.69 AADS/Chicago NAP 198.32.130 PACBELL/SF NAP 198.32.128 MAE-East 192.41.177 MAE-West 198.32.136 http://dranet.dra.com/peeringpoints.html After last time I had requests to list several additional exchange points. To keep things manageble for myself, I'm limiting myself to "National" NAPs which meet the following three criteria: - Located in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean), my French and Spanish language abilities are limited - At least five different providers attached and operating - At least one attached provider with their headquarters in a non-adjacent state, province, island (Alaska and Hawaii can count any other state as non-adjacent, Rhode Island can't) I'm trying to automate this, so next time I'll try to get Europe and Asia exchange points; but for now this is the NANOG list. If you operate such an exchange point I'd like to add it to my exchange point connection cross-matrix. Please send me 1) a brief name for the exchange point, 2) IP network used for the exchange point, 3) the in-addr name server for the exchange point *OR* if you don't allow AXFR access a copy of the in-addr BIND file for the IP addresses. If you are attached *BUT DO NOT OPERATE* an exchange point, please let the exchange point operate contact me. Important: I must be able to independently verify that the connections exist at the exchange point. I normally do this by sending a few (10-20) PINGs at the ip addresses several times over 24 hours. If your router is down for more than 24 hours, I may not count it. Press releases do not count. Last time I got fooled by some old IP address being re-assigned to new providers; I've flushed my data so this will be based on fresh data. I want to complete this before the NANOG meeting, so I request you let me know before Wednesday, Oct 22, 1997. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
