An interesting bit of Manitoba networking history from Curtis Coleman. Curtis mentioned he implemented multihoming at Pangea between MBnet and PSINet on May 8th, 1997. The following year he added connections to UUNET and Sprint Canada. Pangea was the first local ISP to implement multihoming. MBnet was multihomed between Bell and Sprint in early 1999. Part of our missed-post-at-the-time series. Story should have been posted 2021-05-01 MBIX has added a peering switch on the 8th floor of 355 Portage. This switch resides within LES.NET colocation, and Fastnet can also provide optical cross-connects to the MBIX switch. This expansion is a Cisco Nexus 3064-X switch, with 4x10Gbps links to the 294 Portage peering switch. We’ve also added a 100G link between 294 Portage and 167 Lombard, running a port-channel with 200 Gbps capacity.
