Hi, I'd like to speak with people who were / are working in IX points and/or have knowledge about the infrastructure of IX points. We , a small group of researchers , have started a Project called Prix [ http://prix.uprr.pr ] which has the intentions of creating a large table for those who would like to sit down, in other terms an internet exchange point where all the participants can peer. Our main goal is to improve the existing connectivity between the major backbone providers and improve the connectivity between them with peering locally instead of peering somewhere in the states, which is couple of thousands miles far from Puerto Rico. We believe improving the network connectivity of the island will definately led those who live in Puerto Rico to think of using VoIP technologies more often. We, myself and a friend of mine who is also participating in this project, will be participating in NANOG and hopefully can meet with those who has experience in order to get recommendations about hardware/software and policies. Thank you Mehmet Akcin, PRIX PS: if you want to join our discussions you can also subscribe http://lists.uprr.pr/mailman/listinfo/prix so we don't interrupt here :-)

Would it be improper to suggest that you pick a different acronym? :-) John

yes it would be.
everything in language A has a strange connotation in some other language B. e.g., my name is great fun in brit-english speaking land.
There is already an IX called DIX (Denmark) so PRIX should work as well :) -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se

A few years ago there was also a small-scale (couple of hundred megs of traffic, mostly netnews) exchange point known as the Avi and RS Exchange. The acronym is left as an exercise to the reader. ---Rob

Mehmet did not say so, but I assume his mailing list will be in spanish and that PRIX is OK in his language.
Actually the list will be in English mostly since we will have international participants who will be honoring us with their great helps. I think PRIX is a good name , I mean the name is not really important, we can even name it as NONAMEIX as long as it's working and helping the community to grow and to work better.

Now that the juvenalia have stopped making fun of homonyms, yes, there is a lot of expertise around here, and I'm sure folks will help.
Thank you
