I do not agree with you. The operator of an IX switch should ensure, that malconfigured equipement cannot affect other IX participants. AMS-IX does that with the Port Security features (Port will be shut, when the switch will see packets with a wrong MAC address). In fact, this runs without problems, but with the advantage, that the ISP can choose, what type of equipement he will use. regards, michel ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
