   announced on the Internet
 + Desired physical interface at each of the NIX IXPs
 + Type of connection and name of connection-supplier at each of the

- This agreement is signed by the organisation and USIT.

Routing on NIX is done with BGP4. Multicast-routing can be done with MSDP
and PIM (not just PIM!).Routing with other routing protocols or "default
routing" is not allowed.

Each NIX customer must take proper actions to limit the number of
unnecessary packets broadcasted or flooded on the IXPs. NIX customers
not conforming to this will be warned, and eventually disconnected.

Private VLAN-services are available at all NIX IXPs.
Contact USIT (sslug@sslug) for technical details.

The neutral medium is based on ethernet-switch technology.
The following interface technologies are available:

100BaseTX        on all NIX IXPs
1000BaseX/GBIC   on NIX1
1000BaseX/SFP    on NIX2, BIX, TRDIX, TIX and SIX
10GBaseX/XENPAK  on NIX1 only
10GBaseX/XFP     on NIX2 only

When using 1000BaseX/GBIC, 1000BaseX/SFP, 10GBaseX/XENPAK or 10GBaseX/XFP,
the NIX customer must supply the optics (GBIC/SFP/XENPAK/XFP). NIX customers
are encuraged to use vendor-supplied optics. USIT can refuse to install
optics if it creates problems for the IXP in any way.

NIX1, BIX, TRDIX, TIX and SIX use Cisco Catalyst 6500s.
