All,
I have recently been communicating with Voltaire, with the idea of
buying a small IB switch to start familiarising ourselves with the
technology. I don't know if an evaluation has been carried out as yet,
how much the IB switches will cost, but from my little inquiry imagine
we are looking at a good chunk of money for a 288 switch for downtown
and 96+24 ports switches for the summit. Reading about IB I see quotes
of $700 per port as a minimum. (~$1/2M). Obviously this is without any
computer systems or mountain-base networking boxes.
I just want to raise the alert if this equipment has not been costed.
FYI Voltaire is confident IP wans will be available by 2010.

Hi Folks,
The telecon today is cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.
Let's pick up again next week, hopefully with Jeff Kantor
on the line or with some guidance from him on our direction.
Sorry about the late notice.
Stuart
