4. What are the issues to deal with in peering with the Route Arbiter?

A couple of things... NSF no longer funds the router servers, so peering with the Routing Arbiter is not possible... However, Merit, with the assistance of ISI, has started the Route Server Next Generation (RSng) project which provides route server service to participating NAPs. DEC Palo Alto, Atlanta (Netrail), and Mae-East currently have contracts with RSng for this service. AADS, Pacbell and Mae-West have expressed interest in the project and contracts are being negotiated. Peering is established in much the same way as with the RA project. Please see http://www.rsng.net for more information or email rsng@merit.edu with any questions. -abha ;) __________________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- abha ahuja ahuja@merit.edu Merit Network, Inc.
