Comparing Bandwidth Economies

2008-01-26 Thread jamie baddeley

Hi,

For the purposes of building an argument *for* increased peering within
NZ, I need to compare domestic bandwidth costs between the US and NZ.

My apologies now if this is considered OT. Hopefully you'll accommodate
my request. It's fairly straight forward.

Basically all I need to know is the price of 10/100/1000Mbps of
ethernet/POS (probably not IP transit) service etc for a link span of
either 400 Miles or 800 Miles (say between 2 major cities), ideally in
states that have a average population density of roughly around 42 per
sq mile. 

Which basically means I'd be keen to hear from folks in Oregon, Maine,
Colorado, Arizona or possibly Kansas (happy to hear from others). I
realise that neither of those states span the distance I'm talking
about, but close enough is good enough.

Portland to San Francisco costs for 10/100/1000Mbps ethernet service
would be very interesting.

Thanks for your time.

Jamie








Is 7bits enough? (was: Re: [admin] Re: EU Official: IP Is Personal)

My note of yesterday didn't make it to the list, which happens from time 
to time,
but as I'm not asking about automobile licenses or number portability, 
this might

make it past the rather broad kill-this-thread administrative dicta.

Hi,

We (the P3P Spec WG circa pre-9/11) didn't specify what would reasonably 
render
a v6 addr non-PII, and we didn't provide guidance on v4 addrs, other 
than the 7bit

mask.

Since I'm the only former contributor to that activity who gets NANOG mail,
if any of you who have ideas on either of those two forms of endpoint 
identifiers
and PII, if you send them to me, I'll summarize for the purpose of 
offering a specific

update to our final work product, P3P 1.1 [1].

I'll extract the MAC-to-v4 comments for PII in a LAN environment,
which we ignored in the P3P Spec WG.

some odd-ball number like 43Kbps.


There are slightly more Google hits for "44kbps throttling" than "43kbps 
throttling".


On balance, I think your observations are a co-incidence, and whatever 
throttling mechanism it is that the networks aren't deploying, appears 
at fairly random numbers in the 35-50kbps range.
