Yep. On the plus side peering between AARNet and others in Australia is starting up the slope towards the top of the cycle. From a few years ago when we asked and no-one of any size wanted to peer, now we're getting complaints that we are not peering quickly enough. Once we get the new 10Gbps backbone bedded in we'll tackle peering with other national networks (we already extensively peer internationally). Since gigabit ethernet is the current optical sweet spot, the performance should be good. -- Glen Turner Tel: (08) 8303 3936 or +61 8 8303 3936 Australia's Academic & Research Network www.aarnet.edu.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
