Hi.

As I am scheduled to get wave installed this coming week, I started
looking at the network topology.  While at one point several months
ago I thought traceroutes showed rogers.wave.ca using rns (Rogers
Network Services).  Now traceroutes show wave using Istar in Toronto
and Vancouver.   This would be good *if* these Istar connections were
additional peering points, but the RNS connections seem to be gone
(or at least are unused).  RNS peers with CA*Net in Toronto
(psp.on.canet.ca <-> rns-border1.on.canet.ca), and with Sprint
(sl-rogernet-1-s0-T3.sprintlink.net).
So why would wave be using only Istar for connectivity, when you would
think it would be better and cheaper to use RNS?
500kbps to the desktop is a nice technology; hopefully Wave implements
the backbone to support it.
