Following up on last month's discussion and seeking, if agreeable, the 
endorsement of this group around the Strawman Connector AL2S <> TR-CPS 
Exchange point site connections.  That outlines additional links which 
together will provide some headroom overall and provide a minimal latency 
from Connector to Exchange point equipment.  Latency is especially a factor 
for the few cases around Dallas where an AL2S access point would add latency 
above that currently experienced.

Attached is an update to the spreadsheet outlining links from current 
Internet2 community aggregation points into Exchange Point facilities.  The 
row #13 describes the working strawman from our discussion last month.

Look forward to discussing,

Regarding details in the spreadsheet: The usage figures are better defined, 
contexualized for this purpose, and reference URL for supporting data noted 
in column M.  As discussed last month, the peak short-term utilization on the 
single Seattle link was an outlier, though it happened at a time and in a 
place where additional capacity was projected to be needed.  I believe the 
facts as presented better contextualize that, but still do support the notion 
that action on capacity in this area is still prudent.
