Re: customers and web servers and level one naps

Second: allowing such a customer, or an NSP, to attach web services directly to the FDDI ring at the NAP.

PAIX is doing this. As far as I know the other major interchange provider are not. I am wondering why.

Umm, they were, shall we say, unclear. I heard from one PAIX source that they would give IPs to hosts (non-routers), but another source (at ISPCon) said that they wouldn't. I'd like to know the answer to this (re: PAIX. No other exchange that I know of gives IPs for use by non-routers that aren't RA machines). It's well-know nthat ploth has a host on the Sprintlink && Pennsauken gigaswitches @ Pennsauken, but I'm quite sure he doesn't run web services on it :) Avi
