[AusNOG] Megaport call for Participants

[Cameron Daniel]

Hi Shane,

  > What kind of of IX are you planning to deploy (will there be forced 
multi-lat?)

No forced multi-lateral arrangement. You can participate on the IX if 
you like or you can just use private VLANs for bi-lats, backhaul, 
anything you can think of. We'd like you to participate on the IX but 
it's not required.

coast, or will they be separate entities on their own?

There will be a separate IX in each state.

There aren't any restrictions on buying multiple ports and using the 
network as backhaul within each state. There will be an option to buy 
bandwidth between Megaports in different states but that may not be 
available day 1 and will likely have a different pricing model.

what's the maximum MTU?

9100 byte MTU.

Cheers,
Cameron
