I find the interesting that there were immediate assumptions by
all the followup posters that the hypothectical mesh wbn suggested
would be run by an exchange point operator. Perhaps no public
statements were sent by anyone in using similar trans-atlantic
services (that are not run by the affected EP operator[s]). It
isn't a new solution, and there isn't only one company offering
the service.
I think exploring any technical issues/experiences in the
differing existing deploys and how they would relate to a trans-
pacific deploy is quite worthwhile. If anyone using one of the
trans-atlantic services wanted to send comments but didn't have
enough desire to get a throwaway account subscribed to nanog-post,
I'll happily anonomize and repost for you. Just no guarentees on
timliness.
Cheers,
Joe
