Sometimes it can give a hint. However, if the ISPs are following the ³interface name² convention, you¹ll get something like P3-1-2, which just tells you its Packet Over SONET. That can mean anything from OC-3 to OC-192. ³ge² could mean 10 gige :) The "2488M" from glbx is nice, but not too common. It would be so nice if this were standardized between all providers. But naming conventions are really political - they sometimes provoke huge fights even within providers. -- Daniel Golding Network and Telecommunications Strategies Burton Group On 7/1/04 8:25 PM, "Cody Lerum" <clerum () transaria com> wrote:

It's not publicly available at one source that I'm aware of, and if there is they don't have my info. -C From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu] On Behalf Of Erik Amundson Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 6:10 PM To: nanog () merit edu Cc: network.support () oati net Subject: Peering point speed publicly available? NANOG, I have a question regarding information on my ISP¹s peering relationships. Are the speeds of some or all peering relationships public knowledge, and if so, where can I find this? By speed, I mean bandwidth (DS3, OC3, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, etc.). I am trying to transfer large stuff from my AS, through my ISP, through another ISP, to another AS, and I¹m wondering how fast the peering point is between the ISPs. I¹m working with my provider to get this information as we speak, but I¹m wondering if it¹s available publicly anywhere. If it were, this could be one way to evaluate providers in the future, I guess Erik Amundson A+, N+, CCNA, CCNP IT and Network Manager Open Access Technology Int'l, Inc.
