Stan Barber's Notes

Ten customers are active in the MPLA. There are also a number of PVCs between serveral pairs.

Mark has a chart that shows a relationship among the pvcs and so one.

MCI, AGIS and Concentric research are the big users (6599Mb/24hours)

Peak utilization is about 1.5Mb/sec.

A Proxy MIB will allow general SNMP access to aggregate variables only. Authenticated access for customer specific information. A monthly aggregate traffic report will be published on the Internet. Steve suggested daily because he believes that MFS does that.

Futures -- Alternate switch products... early ABR dropout There is a possiblity of having more space available. This is not colocation. Mark thinks colocation would be good to do, but Ameritech is not doing that at present.

There is a wide-area FDDI service that Ameritech already provisions. There is some possiblity that this may be used for the NAP.

Mark has seen no loss over the NAP with the current traffic levels.
