As a non-transit peer to our ISPs, we certainly do not qualify as an IXP in the traditional sense. But we do have a potential impact on our peers as well as a possible impact on the community at large, thus some education would be beneficial (education almost always is not <i>not</i> beneficial...). We do have an opportunity as an anchor institution to become a non-traditional IXP by fronting Internet service to downstream partners via a unique model used by our non-traditional ISP. So, my point is if any initiative strives to provide education, I am in support of it. Especially, it has my support if it helps to build out Internet access for both partner institutions looking to bolster their access, as well as potentially allowing for underprivileged community members to gain access via unique connectivity infrastructures.</div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div><div><font face="georgia, serif"><font color="#674ea7">H</font><font color="#6aa84f">a</font><font color="#674ea7">P</font><font color="#6aa84f">p</font><font color="#674ea7">Y</font> <font color="#6aa84f">N</font><font color="#674ea7">e</font><font color="#6aa84f">W</font> <font color="#674ea7">Y</font><font color="#6aa84f">e</font><font color="#674ea7">a</font><font color="#6aa84f">R</font><font color="#674ea7">!</font></font></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size:13px"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font><font color="#20124d" style="font-family:"courier new",monospace">michael brooks</font><br></span><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace;color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:13px">Sr. Network Engineer<br></span><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace;color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:13px">Adams 12 Five Star Schools</span><br></div><div><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace"><a href="mailto:michael.brooks@adams12.org" target="_blank"><font color="#999999">michael.brooks@adams12.org</font></a><br></span><div><span style="color:rgb(204,204,204);font-size:x-small;font-family:"courier new",monospace">::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::</span><br></div><div><font size="1"><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace"><span style="color:rgb(204,204,204)">"flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss"</span><br></span></font></div></div><div><font size="1"><span style="font-family:"courier new",monospace"><span style="color:rgb(204,204,204)"><br></span></span></font></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 16, 2024 at 8:09 AM Dave Taht via Nnagain <<a href="mailto:nnagain@lists.bufferbloat.net">nnagain@lists.bufferbloat.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">this is the kind of initiative I can get behind.<br>
