StarLight Implementation

This document outlines the StarLight implementation dated June 5, 2001, featuring a DataComm facility at Northwestern University, 710 North Lake Shore Drive. It includes details about equipment, such as Cisco and Juniper systems, dual OC12 connections to the NAP, and significant network capabilities. The facility provides power backup systems, shared space with NOC and engineering staff, and supports various carriers including Qwest and ATT. Plans for migration to the new space and issues related to port speed and statistics gathering are also discussed.
