While I agree with the statement, I take exception to any notion that
_any_ service we provide would be "marginal." Thus far, my network has a
higher uptime percentage than any carrier we interconnect with, period,
the end. We planned, built and operate a regional exchange, including the
route servers, that has been live 24/7 for 11 months. That is 0% downtime
for the route-server platform and the exchange fabric.
Teun, if for some reason you associated my unwillingness to piss away the
initial hardware investment for the project as indicitive of someone
without the wherewithall to provide efficient and reliable servive and
have in your mind labeled me as such, you were sadly mistaken.
