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.
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.
