Exchange Point Connectivity Cross-Matrix

Last updated: October 15, 1998

This spreadsheet should be viewed as nothing more than one person's attempt to collect data from a variety of sources and present it in one place. This is not a qualitative ranking of providers. This is not a listing of which providers "peer" with other providers.

Methodology: I took the in-addr records for each exchange point, and pinged the resulting addresses. If a router happened to be down, I missed that connection. The PVC nature of the ATM NAPs make independent testing very difficult. "OK" means an ICMP Echo Request/Echo Response worked for at least one provider router at the exchange point. "UNK" means I couldn't ping the address (i.e. ICMP disabled, PVC not built, no route between DRA and the exchange network, or router down or not there). A "." means no in-addr record found.

The names are based on the in-addr records of the addresses. ITLD's were truncated after two levels, Other TLD's were truncated after three levels. Providers change names, merge with other providers, or use different names in different places; so I may list the same provider under two different names or merged two providers under the name name. The AS number is from either the TXT record for the address, or my guess of the providers AS number using traceroute to www.provider-name.net.

If you don't like your name, update your in-addr records. I got tired of trying to keep up with name changes and mergers.

This spreadsheet covers the following exchange points, and networks only. Some exchanges, have more than one network attached.
ExchangeIP Network
Sprint NY-NAP192.157.69
AADS CHI-NAP198.32.130
PACBELL SF-NAP198.32.128
MFS MAE-East192.41.177
MFS/LN MAE-LA198.32.146
MFS/NASA MAE-West198.32.136
Digital PAIX198.32.176
CANIX198.133.49
NIX198.32.154

CIX was not included this time due to a limitation in my data collection programs.

I recognize there are many other exchange points world-wide. I choose these based on historical reasons and my own limited resources. This page is updated on an irregular basis, as my schedule permits. Corrections can be sent to Sean Donelan sean@dra.com

Correction Checklist:

Ok, now you can send your correction.
