• Significantly more Bandwidth for ~10% of Transit price• Shorter Paths• Fast access to large content providers• Increased redundancyPath to SIX peers is not shaped, i.e. better throughput
ConcernsSIX does not have SLA, ‘get what you pay for’Non redundant link to Seattle
Investigate extending SIX service to other Transit locations.Successful Trial done with UVIC
Explore possibilities of contracting Transit services in Seattle.
Investigate possibilities for redundant paths
Future plans
