The San Diego Network Access Point (SD-NAP), established in February of 1998, is a neutral network traffic exchange facility that is intended to provide a location for local data network service providers to exchange Internet traffic. It is hosted by the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) at the University of California's San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and is collaboratively supported by SDSC and CAIDA operational networking staff.
Funding for the SD-NAP project ended in 2000.
Goals
The purposes of the SD-NAP are to facilitate efficient interconnection of Internet Protocol transit networks within and to San Diego Local Access and Transport Area, California LATA 6, and to provide a platform for traffic analysis by CAIDA researchers with the goal of promoting a robust, scalable global Internet infrastructure. Participants are permitting UCSD staff to analyze their Internet traffic data as part of the consideration for supporting SD-NAP.
