Someone from MAE-Dulles called me and said they were a 2nd generation MAE. What in the world is that? TAG changed their name to MAE-Dulles. My guess is to try to make people think they were somehow related to MAE-East. No mention of tier at all....it's a new "generation". jas

From www.maedulles.net it looks like a router based exchange, that is they run a router that everyone connects to for peering. A pair of GSR 12416's in fact. Evidently they think moving from layer 2 to layer 3 makes them "2nd generation". I'd say it makes them useless.

I dunno about that. There's been a trend lately in this area to identify with the airport and "Dulles Toll Road", which is often dubbed the "Dulles Technology Corridor". -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
