And what benefit is there to this 'public' vlan service? A shared vlan between all participants (with some well organized numbering/indexing scheme)? TorIX (Toronto) is about to have an AGM here and this VLAN thing which has been in the air for 3 years will certainly be brought up again. /kc On Mon, May 23, 2016 at 07:19:03PM +0100, Marty Strong via NANOG said:
The usefulness of an elastic fabric as far as I can see it are:
- Can give you a private VLAN to some *cloud* providers that provide direct access to them in some other fashion than peering (assumedly for enterprises) - Is spread across multiple buildings across a metro area - Is elastic so can be divided between different services for different time periods
In a traditional peering sense it doesn???t really offer much value.
Just my two pence.
