Thanks to everyone who filled out the doodle poll. It looks like the best time is going to be this Friday from 2-3PM. Let's use the following bridge:

866-411-0013

0145454#

Talk with everyone then.

All:

To date, David Crowe is the only community member to weigh in with a response to the doodle poll. While I'm incredibly confident in Dave's ability to single-handedly help engineer this, I think we can all agree that a wider participation base would be more ideal. Please try and fill the poll out by noon tomorrow so we can pick a time later in the week.

One of the action items out of the February architecture discussion was to look at how we logically organize the Layer3 network on top the Layer2 equipment. There was some good back and forth discussion in the later calls about whether or not to implement a full mesh of IP router-to-router VLANs over the IP network, how to prioritize the different interconnect technologies, and how to load share traffic on the L3-L2 interconnects. 

We've pulled together a document that provides a starting point for discussion. We've thought through a few of the scenarios and have attempted to highlight the advantages and gotchas to some of the approaches. This is not a complete view of everything and is meant to spur discussion. 

We purposefully don't make a recommendation here. I'm interested in hearing about options and permutations we need to add to this document and other feedback on the pros and cons. 

I suggest we spend this next week iterating on this via e-mail and try to get together on a call the week of June 3rd to discuss. I've created a doodle pool with some potential times to chat. Hopefully we can find a time that works for a large number of interested parties.

Given that we have equipment being installed in the next week to put most of this in place, we'd like to start thinking about beginning to stand pieces of this up in the mid-June timeframe. 

Thanks. Looking forward to the conversation!
