well they were threatening to filter all through the fall of 1994 and early december was the last deadline that I remember. the deadlines would come and go with no filtering. does any one know if they really ever did filter? it is my impression that if they did do any at all it was small and besides by december 1994 you had naps beginning to come on line which would have provided a way around filters.....although the little guys were not exactly clamoring to get into the naps at that point. ************************************************************************ The COOK Report on Internet For subsc. pricing & more than 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA ten megabytes of free material (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) visit http://pobox.com/cook/ Internet: cook@cookreport.com For case study of MercerNet & TIIAP induced harm to local community http://pobox.com/cook/mercernet.html ************************************************************************ On Sun, 13 Oct 1996, Ehud Gavron wrote:
Does anyone remember when the CIX proposed to filter networks of customers of CIX members which were not themselves CIX members? Was it as early as 1995?
Actually it was November of 1994.

(We are trying to review a paper on Internet exchanges. It seems ironic that this effort by the CIX to restrict traffic was rendered ineffective by the same technique the CIX used to overcome the impediments created by the NSFNET AUP, namely alternative paths for "unacceptable" traffic.)
Actually it was the CIX' hubris in thinking their interconnect to be of a value higher than all of its member networks. SPRINTLINK (Bob Collette) quickly indicated they would route around the CIX, and that made the whole issue moot. (or "academic" if you're in the real world.)
