Talk 1:  MAX’s 2547 vpn background
Heard Ivan Gonzalez of Juniper’s presentation
to routing wg July 2002 on Calren 2547 mockup.
Examined his configs, looked useful & feasible.
MAX in 2002 was offering standard mix of routes
from Abilene, DREN, Esnet, vBNS, etc peerings.
Everything working, nobody interested in 2547.
But pressure from customers mounted to resell
Qwest ISP service.  Ran tests for 6 months with
UMD as ISP and GU as customer, and found
routing problems.  Mocked up 2547 topology on
MAX’s inexpensive lab routers, then deployed.
