Another question, in response to another email you'd sent to NANOG and I subsequently deleted:

You mentioned that your ATM switch at MAE-EAST supports CBR, VBR-RT, VBR-NRT and UBR. What ATM-connection type do you use to connect peers?

Well at MAE-E , FDDI ;) (We have a pending deal to move some exchange neighbors to direct ATM OC-3/DS3, to route around the MAE) However, passing back into the our national fabric, we tend to run VBR-NRT, with a few UBR's, and a few RT-VBR tunnels.

Actually, I'm probably misunderstanding what you use your ATM switch for. What is its function at the NAP, anyway?

It becomes an Exchange Fabric in and of itself. See Ameritech VNAP, and OneCall's IndyX offerings.
