At least that's the claim. Okay. That's two people with the rumor. But that rumor's been around for a long while. If you are a provider who has DS3 connectivity into 3 (widely-separated) high-level exchange points (eg., MAE-E, MAE-W, PB-NAP, AADS-NAP, or Sprint NAP) *and* you have been unable to get peering with a "major" NSP (eg., Sprint, MCI, UUNet, PSI, Netcom, AGIS) please mail me. I'm making a list. In your mail, tell me which exchange points you were at when the request was made and the outcome (denied, ignored, forwarded to lawyer hell). I will accept stories from entities that don't quite meet those requirements, if they are convincing (eg., "We're at MAE-W and MAE-E and LINX and we're in Germany and we think this oughta be enough") This list isn't going to be used to go sue people. It is because I (and several others, I'm sure) are tired of seeing these rumors without any data behind them. -matthew kaufman [email protected] ps. please let me know whether or not I can name you and/or your network should this get distributed in any way. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
