Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 17:33:26 +0000 (GMT) From: Chris Caputo To: announce _at_ seattleix.net Subject: Proposed Interconnect with the SIX Per the SIX Interconnection Policy... "Members may only utilize a single layer-2 MAC address to place a single layer-3 router per port allocated from the SIX switch fabric unless by prior agreement of the board. The procedure for interconnecting a layer-2 device to the SIX shall be as follows: a technical proposal shall be made to the board, accompanied by full documentation. This documentation shall be published on the announcement mailing list and the SIX web site for comment by the members and the public for a period of no less than two weeks, whereupon the board shall determine whether the member is allowed to perform the proposed interconnection. No more than one such proposal shall be entertained at a time, and any subsequent modifications to the interconnected equipment shall be similarly approved by the board. The member shall be responsible for maintaining any required documentation of all layer-2 devices comprising the switch fabric, and such documentation shall always be available to SIX operations volunteers." ... please review and consider commenting on the following proposal (below) by Swift Communications which has also been posted on the web at: http://www.seattleix.net/docs/20060321_SwiftInterconnect.txt The comment period is 2 weeks. Comments to the membership can be made to the members list. Comments to the board can be made to info _at_ seattleix.net.
