A couple of times over the weekend I did some diagnosis of problems across mae-east ATM. Each case consisted of brief periods of high latency (200-400ms) across the fabric. This seemed to affect multiple, but not all providers at the same time. Has anyone else seen this sort of thing lately? I can't see anything wrong with all the tests I've done other then latency. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org

That's just the RTT out to Ashburn and back ;) (But, seriously, they may be doing something related to the end-of-year move. Anybody heard anything?) --msa

Are you talking about the new MAEs that WCOM is working on? From what I hear, it will be an optical switch fabric, pick your OC-level. This will be in the same regions that the MAEs are located. I hear Seattle and Atlanta are being added. They will also put them in 'neutral' locations as well as WCOM facilities. So you could be in one building and 'peer' with providers in different buildings in the city. This is good to save on LL costs. For example, if they could bring this to the bay area and put it in the following locations, it would be good for all players. PAIX, WCOM, AMES, Equinix That way, I can pick the best place to colo (like I do in London today) and hookup to compaines at all four locations. No longer do I need to co-lo at all locations. I see this as the next step in public peering. Taking the LINX model one step further. Christian MFN/Abovenet is NOT an ISP... From: "Skrba, Dejana" <dejana@above.net>
Well now, I've gotten some interesting e-mail from some people. I'm beginning to wonder about some interesting ATM behavior. If you have a Cisco, and would like to help me do a little informal study I would love to see the interface configs from some other peoples routers. Just the atm stuff is all I need, as you know, there is more then one way to configure a Cisco for ATM. I suggest private is better then to the list, and if something interesting comes up I'll summarize with dummy configs. Thanks. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
