Seattle Peering

Thanks very much... we have a price from S&D for the x-connect.  If we
connect on the PAIX side (most likely) do we need multiple VLAN's?  I
had planned on a single VLAN on the port for there - just need to
understand ;)

Thanks,

Paul

And keep in mind that while the SIX and PAIX-SEA are directly connected,

the exchanges are on different VLANs from the perspective of a PAIX-SEA 
connection.

If you connect on the SIX side, you can only reach the SIX fabric.  No 
MRC.

If you connect on the PAIX-SEA side, you can reach both the SIX fabric
and 
the PAIX-SEA fabric via a single router port.  For MRC talk to an S&D
rep.
