Talk:Network access point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NAP stands for Network Access Point, a public network exchange facility where Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can connect with one another in peering arrangements. The NAPs are a key component of the Internet backbone because the connections within them determine how traffic is routed. They are also the points of most Internet congestion.

A cite or reference for "the ANS CO+RE scandal" would be good. I'll dig around and see if I have any. jzp 21:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it would... I don't have one off-hand, just my memory of events. Since it predates the web, there doesn't seem to be much online about it. http://www.hpcwire.com/archives/720.html Bill Woodcock 03:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
