Sprint NY NAP Status At this time (9/23/94) Sprint's NAP is ready to accept customers. MCI and ANS are fully connected to the NAP and are ready exchange traffic with each other and other NSPs once appropriate peering agreements have been concluded. The SprintLink router is also connected to the NAP, and will be ready to peer when the DS3 circuit to Washington DC or Chicago, or both are installed on Octber 15. SprintLink's existing T1 connections into Pennsauken, while insufficient to support NAP connectivity for an NSP, enable access to the NAP devices for remote configuration and monitoring. CERFnet will be directly connected to the Sprint NAP via Sprint's ATM in the same timeframe. Sprint's NAP is also ready to receive the Routing Arbiters route server which is anticpated to be installed by October 15 . In addition to basic FDDI connectivity, we are working on a number of important NAP issues such as integrated NAP network management, troubleshooting procedures and access to NAP facilities for maintenance.
