anyone got any ideas on who might be able to reduce my hopcount from
toronto to singtel?
currently we are seeing uunet->alternet->bbnplanet->singtel.
i'd like to reduce the points of failure from here to there.
I can reduce them for you... Likely your path is actually:
uunet->bbnplanet->singtel
as uunet == alternet

You can
peer with bbnplanet or singtel at a local IX. (would become you->bbnplanet->singtel or you->singtel)
Or
Ask UUNet to alter their peering with singtel so that the bbnplanet AS is skipped (would become uunet->singtel)
BTW: uunet and alternet are the same

I'm guessing any carrier that provides PtP leased line services could facilitate that, if you wanted to spend the money =)
Though transparently you'd probably still be making just as many hops in the TDM or SONET world.

Jim,
You will be able to peer with them in PAIX (Palo Alto).
Thanks
