LoNAP Interconnect • See http://www.xchangepoint.net/info/Xchange-LoNAP.pptfor background • Has been running smoothly for around 5 months now • 10 XchangePoint customers and 6 LoNAP members participating - total 24 VLANs • About 6Mb/s traffic through interconnect • Ready for next phase, which will be shared public peering VLAN in neutral /24 • Have written up Cisco native VLAN=1 problem and submitted document to vendor

  9. New SLA and AUP (v3.5) • See http://www.xchangepoint.net/custinfo/{SLA,AUP}.html • Changes mainly to safely address major demand for customers to connect switches rather than routers • Also addresses interconnect with/via 3rd-party layer-2 network operators • Approach is to try and be as flexible as possible, but not allow anything risky • e.g. some things not prohibited but not upheld in SLA either • Makes extensive use of tagged VLANs • Also enforcing MAC address filtering per port • still need further feature support from switch vendors • Seems to be working - no major accidents to date 
