Re: 60 Day Termination Notice (fwd)
Wow. History in the making. This is better than CNN. I envisage a fancy-dress gathering in Ann Arbor and D.C. to party, get blitzed, and then watch as ENSSes get turned off, and as a big silver ball descends to mark the end of the NSFNET backbone service... BTW, out of curiosity, will the ENSSes get turned off, just shutdown(8)ed, or have the interfaces ifconfig-ed off? Sean. (who is prepared to sing Auld Lang Syne :) )
Actually, I think we're supposed to get together in Ann Arbor and bury one of the ENSS's in Elise's backyard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Kraig J.

We've already ordered a backhoe - we figure we can take out the T3 and bury the ENSS at the same time :-)

I am interested in finding out when the IBM router will be physically removed from our site (ENSS 128). Will I be allowed to move it or will IBM have to be scheduled to come out and remove it. Seriously, we need the room. We can install 2 telco racks as soon as it's out of the way (along with recovering a T-3 port on our microwave bypass into Stanford). Robert Gutierrez / BARRNet Engineering p.s...are the Larse T-3 CSU's going to be sold on the surplus market??? :)
Robert and Sean,

My understanding of what happens next is that ANS will be contacting the sites which house ENSSes and discussing various logistics. It is true that the NSFNET Backbone Service is coming to an end, but ANS will continue to be an ISP, so it could be that ANSnet will continue to serve certain locations.

As of April 30, 1995, ANSnet is relieved of the obligation to carry traffic from NSF designated regional to another NSF designated regional. Any arrangements to exchange traffic with ANSnet will have to be negotiated with ANS. --Elise

Elise, This is cute, but premature. :-) 1. You don't own the ENSS. 2. Until someone builds something that performs better (which seems on the horizon and is something we eagerly look forward to), we need these boxes. We picked up a few commercial customers along the way and still need a T3 network that does close to T3. Although more pps in these boxes would be a plus, they are still our preferred platform.
