NASA/Ames Internet exchange Joins Bay Area MetroPAIX

The NASA/Ames Internet exchange has joined Switch and Data's San Francisco Bay Area MetroPAIX peering and Internet exchange network. The NASA/Ames facility provides a peering point for some 30 networks. Switch and Data's Palo Alto PAIX is already the largest West Coast exchange with over 130 networks exchanging traffic there. MetroPAIX allows these customers to exchange Internet traffic, through a layer 2 switching fabric, with networks in five other locations throughout the Bay area. A dark fiber connection between NASA Ames and PAIX is being provided via IP Networks.
