Would someone be so kind as to email me a list of the Exchanges that matter? I.E., which ones qualify when calculating your connections for peering?
Is it just the 4 NAP's and MAE-East and MAE-West?
Ameritech NAP Atlanta NAP :-) MAE-East MAE-West PACBell NAP Sprint NAP CIX may be worth connecting to as a sales thing, and PAIX is not worth connecting to yet because there are so many NAPs in that area.
Also, do any of you have any comments on whether peering standards might be relaxed if you are setting up a statewide educational network?
Hmm, possible, but don't count on it. If I were you, I would get connected to the NAPs ASAP because it will get harder and harder to peer with the big guys as times moves on.
