For the record I have designed and built a number of ISP's in the California Bay Area. I even own a few. I know InterNap and what they do very well, more than most anyone who even works for InterNap. I also know how the Internet works. Probably more than anyone you may ever speak with. That being said, I'm just telling you how it is. InterNap does not offer a whole lot of value compared to most any other multi-homed ISP. Very little in fact. Any multi-homed ISP does 95% of what InterNap does by simply using default routing protocols supported by all major equipment manufacturers. I'm simply stating facts that can be easily supported by the organizations that are responsible for all Internet Standards, protocols and overall inter-workings. Such as the IETF. ietf.org Feel free to contact the IETF and ask them yourself if default Internet Protocols guarantee consistent quality service. They will simply say yes. Many years of research and design have already gone into Internet Protocol Standards. The purpose of these protocols, their job, is to do exactly what InterNap claims they do that nobody else does and that is get data from point A to point B. Guaranteed. The US Government monitors the IETF to ensure all protocols used for data transmission are of the highest efficiency. It’s pretty hard to improve on them as InterNap claims they do. If the Government and Internet Standards Organizations thought that latency, loss and jitter were all that critical to the Internet they would have developed a protocol to address those issues a long time ago. I asked the IETF if they had plans to create a new protocol to address latency, loss and jitter as InterNap does. They said no, it was not necessary. I asked them if they had plans to modify existing protocols to address latency, loss and jitter as InterNap does. They said no. The IETF even went on to say that latency loss and jitter have little impact on the Internet today and will have less impact in the near future when IPv6 adoption grows. The entire US government and the country of Japan will be 100% IPv6 by 2005. If you have more questions or do not understand why InterNap does not offer true value I suggest you ask the IETF. The organization who is responsible for the Internet.
