Hi, I was tossing the idea around of building a local IXP in the San Diego metropolitan area. But I have a lot of dumb questions to ask. I'd like to talk to someone who has built an IXP. If you would respond by private e-mail, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the help. I'll summarize if there is enough interest. Tung-Hui Hu hhui@arcfour.com
I'd be happy to talk w/ you about how it might be done. There have been a number of attempts to build an exchange in San Diego and none have panned out. You might take a peek at http://www.isi.edu/div7/naps -- --bill

Make sure it isn't Telehouse though! Someone at Telehouse London pressed the wrong button and took out the entire power to the south side of the building, nearly ever ISP in the UK, and the LINX too, was knocked out for around 45 minutes today. I now know of 3 instances this year of this type of failure at TH London. Neil -- Neil J. McRae - Alive and Kicking.

Sorry, only UK ISPs that are careless enough to route *all* their International connectivity thru Telehouse were "knocked out" - We, and various others ONLY lost connectivity to those customers with a single line to our equipment in Telehouse. UK->UK traffic (to those other ISPs that survived) just re-routed through Stockholm, Amsterdam, USA etc etc etc

Sorry, Telehouse has a *much* better power record than most places I know - some of the US mae's dont even have mains backup supply.

OK Richard, All ISP's where affected then, the point is Telehouse is a disaster zone and there is way too much UK [and European too] traffic passing through, the bulding.

Well you are a nutcase for plugging into a MAE ;) THe point is Telehouse claim this mondo wonderful power resiliance and its just not true. FYI: I was standing in the 1st floor ops room and watched everything go off, YES THATS RIGHT! The management system that Telehouse use went off too! so they didn't have a clue where the fault was! [eggs basket one springs to mind]. Cheers, Neil. -- Neil J. McRae - Alive and Kicking.
