Hi Markus.
Simon's answer is correct and complete: these are the ASNs currently
connected to the CIXP multicast infrastructure. We - as CERN (AS513) -
hope to join too, but this has been delayed several times because
of more urgent issues, so giving you a tentative date at this
stage could be just misleading.
I apologise not to have announced this service to the list, nor to
have documented it on a WWW page; the only mitigating factor to this
negligence could be that non-announced services which are operational
are usually more efficient than advertised services which are
not-quite-there-yet (no reference to anything nor to anyone in
particular).
We'll make sure to document this service on the CIXP WWW site in the
next future.
At any rate, as Simon explained, this runs on a dedicated switch, so
the only thing you need to connect is a spare 10/100baseT interface.
This is at no charge. As usual, we shall take care of the cabling.
Best regards,
Paolo
