Subject: LocalTel (AS 13370) second Layer-2 MAC Request
Author: Brandon Leeberg, brandonl _at_ localtel.com

-----Summary-----

Per the SIX "Switch 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 operator 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 operator 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."

... LocalTel is seeking permission to allow a second layer-2 MAC address 
on its connection to the SIX. The second layer-2 MAC will be used for a 
second LocalTel router.

-----Physical Information-----

- Design: The existing LocalTel SIX connection terminates on a switch at 
  the Westin (which also connects to all of our other upstream providers @ 
  the Westin), and from there, is trunked back to Wenatchee, where layer-3 
  is terminated on a router.  With permission, a second router will be 
  added so that the SIX can be accessed by two LocalTel (AS 13370) 
  routers. This will not add any additional traffic, as we are breaking 
  off a chunk (specifically, Grant County) of our existing traffic, and 
  sending it out through the proposed new router.
