>http://www.lab.unisource.ch/services/internet/backbone/zix-prop.htm >contains a proposal for an Internet exchange point in ZοΏ½rich. >Feedback from ISPs (and others) would be very welcome. basically, i'd say its not too bad an idea :-) with competition in the ISP business on its peak and minor ISPs already complaining, i don't think your proposal is going to find too many friends, though. i don't expect we'll ever solve the mess we have with traffic from zurich to zurich being routed over paris - this problem will solve itself with the extinction of certain providers. till then, we'll have to live with it. cooperation and cut-throat competition simply don't fit. -wesi -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Wesemann Zurich Switzerland Graduate Student, Electrical Engineering, Swiss Federal Inst. of Tech dweseman@stud.ee.ethz.ch http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~dweseman --------------------------------------------------------------------------
