I think its safe to post this now... the AS who asked me this now seems to be gone. Keep in mind we're just a po' little school under the El in Chicago and the network asking was a seemingly large Central/South American provider who was bringing in an OC12 to AADS (compared to our OC3). Maybe it'll help start the weekend with a smile. Subject: Re: peering at the aads Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 08:45:52 -0500 John .
