At the end of the day the IX is there to serve the community, not there only for the ISPs to save money on int'l bandwidth.

The point I was making is that it CAN be made a data center, while you were suggesting that it SHOULD NOT be one. Improving the environment to make it possible is another thing. > It's IP... it can follow his server even when it's still in > his rack at work/home, where it's clean and all that :-). I would be interested in knowing the bandwidth Reiner has for local traffic. -- Hari _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
