Rob, I'm not saying that there were many....:) but I'm looking towards the future as things begin to get muddled and that mixed nets could be considered and lets not forget exceptions....as we all know, there are always exceptions...:)
Interesting Tier 1. You'd only have 2 Tier 1s in this case, MCI with their OC12 backbone and Sprint with their OC3 backbone. UUNET, ANS, BBN (the other big three) operate a DS3 backbone--UUNET is not yet at OC12 to the best of my knowledge. Put things into persepective.
Take care.... Rick Telehouse America (718)355-2559
