CNS provides free use of the MICE 10Gig switch and power, provided that the switch stays in CNS space. CNS also pays for one cross-connect that was originally intended to connect the MICE switch to the main switch. I think that FWR donated the cross connect from CNS to the main switch (thanks Mike!) and CNS pays for the cross connect to the GigaPOP instead. (?) I can't recall how the Mankato Networks switch originally came online, but it was part of the plan from the beginning. Perhaps Jay can refresh our memory. I do like that it is there because it gives an option for people that might not otherwise be able to justify the cost of a cross connect to get connected to MICE. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
