RE: NANOG 24: NAP BoF

Marketecture.
It looks better to call yourself a NAP than to call yourself an IX. The naming of the “type” of exchange is by custom, and not law, AFAIK. Thus, the marketing droids take over.

Look at what they have done to “broadband”…

Maybe if we classed them by aggregate provisioned bandwidth, with a secondary classification that ranks number of peers at the point…

I speak for myself, even when I shouldn’t.

Hrm. Does that mean I can put a Black Diamond or M160 in a rack and
declare myself a Tier 0 NAP/IXP?

What a silly argument this is :slight_smile:
