Just interesting to see what one of the big internet auction sites is ordering for equipment. calculus.ebay.com "* Connectivity Update * Here's an update on eBay connectivity upgrades to the Internet: 1. Sometime in the next two weeks, we expect to install a T-3 (45 megabits/second) from InterNap. Internap provides connectivity to Tier-1 providers, along with some proprietary technology to improve routing. 2. eBay has ordered T-3s from Sprint AND UUNet, to provide us direct transit with these established Tier-1 providers. We're looking forward to these connections being turned up sometime in January or February, depending on the phone company. 3. eBay will order at least ONE OC-3 (a BIG pipe, sort of like the ones they use on Hoover Dam) in the first or second quarter of 1999. 4. eBay has acquired and is continuing to order routing and switching equipment from Cisco, who provides all our networking equipment. These are not your run-of-the-mill switches, but big, "intelligent" switches and routers which can manage the traffic to and from these new connections." Yogi
