The guiding principle of this decision is that of >fairness to the members who are paying for the service of route >advertisement. Consequently, non-CIX member routes will be filtered at the >CIX router begining November 15, 1994. Pending members whose applications >are in process as of November 15 will not be filtered, and they will have >through the end of 1994 to complete payment. > >Networks that are 51% owned by another service provider who is a CIX member >need not acquire membership. > >Filtering will initially be performed at the Autonomous System level. Since >many non member routes are within member Automous Systems, the CIX will >subsequently filter individual routes. The CIX will contact the appropriate >AS prior to the establishment of filtering to assure proper filtering. > >Several CIX members are now privately interconnected at MAE-East, and >soon at the NSF-sponsored NAPs and via PacBell/Bell Atlantic SMDS networks. >These high performance interconnections are not within the framework of the >CIX and are consequently not impacted by the CIX-router filtering. Peering >at these interconnection points will be governed by private, bilateral >agreements. Given the inherent scaling limitations of the CIX router-based >interconnection point, the board recommends members interconnect via the >above alternatives. > >The board regrets any inconvenience caused by the delay in confirming the >filtering decision. > >We are endeavoring to complete correspondence regarding the issues of: > > - Increase in board size from 5 to 7 members > > - Vendor operation of CIX router > > - Executive Director search status > > - Membership survey results > >We also regret the delay in the completion of these items. > > >Bob Collet for the Board > > > > > > > >------ End of Forwarded Message - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
