Hi Vic, I will CC him in my next email if he can be of any help although SixXS have been very helpfully till now. Currently we are waiting for the technical details when applying for the PoP which are related to the actual ISP. BMIT need to OK some stuff and UoM will be riding on the success of Bellnet Surfnet Genet who already act as a PoP for educational purposes through the Geant network. We are going through the AUP right now.
With regards to latency: 1) My current subnet hosted at nlams04 doesn't suffer from such a bad latency 2) One of the benefits of operating a local PoP is to cut down on international latency when two geographically close nodes in Malta need to talk across international bandwidth, given that the local node is not saturated -- Raphael On Apr 27, 2011 4:26 PM, "Victor Jerlin" <[email protected]> wrote:
