It seem that one thing we once thought about years ago have come to be reality — While trying to figure out a power outage in Trondheim I did a traceroute from my home ADSL provided by NextGenTel to NTNU. Amazingly enough it only took a mere five hops to reach the webpages of NTNU. Suddenly I realized that TIX, or TRDIX as it has been named we’re in business!

The following are the technical data about the peeringpoint found in RIPE:
inetnum:      193.156.93.0 – 193.156.93.255
netname:      TRDIX
descr:        Trondheim Internet eXchange

All fine and dandy there. Currently I have emailed the admin-c handle for the network, a not unknown ‘HE15’ to ask if it may be possible to get some info about how the IX is ran. I am waiting to hear from him 🙂
