Ameritech & Pacific Bell NAP Updates Feb 2000 NANOG andrew_schmidt@ameritech.net www.aads.net Hello, my name is Andy Schmidt and I’m responsible for the Chicago NAP. I’ve been responsible for the NAP since 1994 and have seen a great deal of change since we start off as an NSF node. The Chicago NAP is fairly unique in that is serves as an exchange point for both ISPs and Higher Education site. As the previous talk illustrates, because Chicago is the host for STARTAP.

What is the Chicago NAP ATM based exchange point Port speeds of DS3, OC3c, and OC12c Each customer gets a full mesh of PVCs No ingress policing, i.e., UBR service Little to no traffic loss due to congestion

Chicago’s General Status 104 connections - peak load 2.4Gbps 28 More than Feb. 1999 Most using OC3 Large move to OC12s Explosive growth in colo/housing 3M square feet of collocation space created Approaching 100 customers -- We have been growing at a steady rate of about 2-4 new connections every month. About 90% of our business is customers installing OC3c. These are either upgrades from DS3 or new installs. Our customers demographics illustrate this trend. We do see about about 3 or 4 new OC12 coming up in the next 6 months. Most everything else, about 10 customers, are on OC3c.

We usually add 2-3 new new per month, but last month we turned up 6 new OC3s. Here is a list of some of the recent additions to the Chicago exchange point. I think this list is pretty accurate, except it looks like splitrock and versatel got left off. Corporate Motorola Comdisco
