Re: NANOG67 - Tipping point of community and sponsor bashing?

I want to go to an IXP being a nice simple ethernet switch. Add some nice graphs and a route server, and we're done. Redundancy is a separate switch :)

come to seattle. but mikael has a point. big peers do their own s-flow, and sparkly things. then smaller ix members want those things too, but can or will not do it for themselves. and soon they find an ix engineer who wants to show their sparkle fu. next thing you know, there is a salesperson to take orders and promte sparkly things. slippery slope. like nanog itself, when you start to assess quality by measuring quantity, you get a low end american supermarket, a jillion false choices of poor food. randy
