After AsiaOnline's woe the other day, we notified Telecom that due to their stupidity and arrogance we are establishing our own link to the APE where we will peer with AsiaOnline and others ourselves.
Well Orcon and 2day just about round out the list of large ISPs in the country. That about leave KC and Netgate out in the cold.
Is Telecom global gateway the only player that wants to sit in the corner with the ball, or are there (significant) others?
GG/Netgate is by far the biggest provider not peering across WIX or APE. Netgate are on Ape but I don't know if the link is unused or perhaps for delivering international bandwidth. I would assume it would be cheaper for smaller providers to get (say) a 1Mb/s link into APE (and get their netgate bandwidth there) than run 512k link to APE and another 512k link to Netgate. Anybody know if GG/Netgate do this? There are private peering links for ihug to netgate and tsnz to netgate (I think) right now. Not sure about Clear to Netgate. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
