In Wellington (across WIX) I can see: - the flick motion Axis thing, but only inside IE which uses the plugin (the javascript stuff is just completely overloaded); - the 128Kbps stream (but not the 384Kbps stream) Which is sort of okay. But some things seem to be struggling under the load. I guess in theory there's another set of hardware in Auckland seeing different load. Ewen

Peering really only happens between companies of a similar size. What we're talking about is interconnection." ' Is this the generally accepted definition of peering? -- Juha

There also remains the question of the effect on the landscape both politically and technically if the Commerce Commission does proceed to mandate unbundled "Public Data Network Backhaul" among other things, as proposed in their September draft report. I'd hesitate to predict doom at this stage, in part because accurate predications of any kind are a bit of a challenge. Especially when they're about the future. Donald Neal | "They won't wobble.

What interests me is this statement. "Throughout 2002, however, the Commission received complaints from ISPs who were excluded from the domestic peering agreements. Generally, the complaints concerned the fact that none of the Tier 1 service providers paid for use of the complainants' networks for data transmission yet the complainants were required to pay fees to use the Tier 1s' networks". The Commerce Commission is bound to find similar opinions locally as the ACCC did in Australia. If this turns into a poo fight, will everyone just end up charging everyone for "interconnection" just to avoid the complexities that the peering issue raises? Should this occur it is going to boost cost for the consumer (assuming that ISPs aim to retain the same profit margin - which I am sure many will)and could have negative effects on market growth, and the spread of Internet technology/connectivity in NZ. Of course nothing bad may happen at all, but today I am prophesying doom.

Hi all Could somebody in Auckland who peers at APE and recieves 202.7.4.x/24 from the route servers please direct a browser at http://palantir.citylink.co.nz/courtenay/ and http://palantir.citylink.co.nz/reading/ and tell me if you see a particularly miserable piece of courtenay place weather. I believe they're both going, but the anycast makes it a little harder than usual to test. Cheers Si
