I would rather see a discussion of the estimated load at the NAPs.
Rat-hole !!! (of course this is a tasty topic all by itself. I think there will be some discussion of this in Curtis and Johns presentations) I am uncomfortable even w/ 100Mbps broadcast media exchanges. We might be safe w/ 155Mbps P/P exchanges.
Consider the worst possible migration sequence where (I'm guessing) BARRNet, NC-REN, NEARnet and Sesquinet transition first. What will be the forecast load at the NAPs? Is the calculation quick enough to run for all 2^9 splits of the MCInet customers? (Assume Sprintlink customers and other connectivity havn't moved yet)
I think that MCI is collecting data on this now.
What is the timeline for direct MCInet connections to other interconnects/providers (FIX, MAE, ICM, etc). Is this traffic going to transit ANS in the interim?
Elise will speak to this it think.
BTW: I have "the mother of all colds", and may not be able to make the meeting. I hope the mbone broadcast makes it...
Sorry to hear it. -- --bill
