Re: [nznog] Peering.

Just a comment from a customer here My Home Country - Srilanka is supposed to be like really backward right. After all over 20 years of terrorist war and all that. The ADSl connections that you buy in Sri Lanka are all 512 Kbps or higher with no usage caps. Sri Lanka probably has only as many Internet subscribers as New Zealand and what a person can afford to pay for ADSL is a hell of a lot lower back there. College kids use GPRS for Internet access, etc... You can even rent raw copper pair connections from Sri Lanka Telecom for really cheap and run a pair of RAD HDSl modems at 2 Mbit or whatever you want straight to your ISP. If not copper then you can rent a fixed wireless circuit from Bell. Dont like Bell or SL Telecom for international bandwidth then you can use Singtel as the International provider or any of a dozen others. Lanka Internet is not a Telco and still they outgrew Sri Lanka Telecom to become the biggest ISP there. Most of NZ Internet subscribers that I know dont give two hoots about Telecom or Telstra. If indeed the combined customer base of Orcon + IHUG + Callplus + the rest is simillar to that of TCL or TCNZ then why not drop peering with TCL & TCNZ completely. Just do it together as a group and most importantly dont forget to make a big fuss in the media. Just my two bits On Tue, 2004-05-25 at 01:41, Brian Gibbons wrote:

From: "Craig Spiers" If telstraclear, was to stop peering at APE, and remove 'ports and connections to there' wouldn't that limit them to only having 'domestic' data inside their own network?

This looks more like an attempt to change NZ from a Peering model to a Tiered model, perhaps Telstra think they have the best backbone in NZ and might be able to monopolise on it :)

I am not completely familiar with the WIX/APE Topology, is there a dedicated circuit between the two to carry domestic traffic?

If not, is it possible that domestic traffic could traverse both APE and WIX via TCL peering circuits to each?

Cheers
