[AusNOG] Vocus vs. Pipe - Was: Vocus peering traffic missingfrom PIPE-IX?

Thu Nov 8 10:15:25 EST 2012

Perhaps along with the recent thread about a DR 'summit', we ought to have
an AusNOG peering summit, whereby we can make some decisions for the
operation of australia-wide neutral entities. WAIA I would probably put
forward as being a base template that could be used in the other cities, or
even in fact WAIA operating them in the other cities. I'd certainly not
have any problems with those guys, they provide a very professional service
even with all the QR1 power issues ;)
