Having said this, I wish to reiterate that ANS is committed to full
interconnectivity with PSI, Alternet, and CERFnet -- as well as the
NSFnet mid-levels. We welcome any constructive comments and ideas,
as I'm sure the CIX Association members do.
What about the complaint ANS lodged at the NSF last month against PSI,
Alternet and CERFnet vis-a-vis their sending commercial traffic 'cross the
NSFNet sponsored backbone? The backbone that NSF sets the "use rules" on.
How does ANS determine which bits transiting the NSFNET backbone are
naughty and which are nice?
