RE: MAE-Phoenix info request
It's not a MAE. All MAE's are listed at http://www.mae.net/ There appears to have been a proposal last year for a meet-point in Phoenix for networks participating in a telemedicine project. Does not appear to be intended to exchange public Internet traffic.
I see from the great speadsheet (ep-in-addrs) that there is mention of a phoenix NAP. However, I can't find any info anywhere on the web / etc about it.
Does it exist, either a MAE or otherwise? What's the physical address? Who is there?
Offline answers are fine.

IIRC, There was a MAE planned there during the net99 days. Phoenix was going to be a big hub, at least according to Mr. "Don't delay, re-route today!" (Joe Stroup) -mark

early days, MAE was not a service mark of Worldcom nee MFS. folks can and did use the term to refer to this nifty thing that we now call an Internet Exchange. The MAE in Phoenix was originally constructed by Dave Siegel and it ran from 1996 through 1998/9. --bill

Or companies like http://www.maedulles.net/ who aren't exchange points at all. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)

and if anybody thinks phoenix still/again needs an exchange point, i'd thank you very much for contacting me about it off-list. -- Paul Vixie <vixie@eng.paix.net> President, PAIX.Net Inc. (NASD:MFNX)
