The MAE, later MAE-East, began as FOIRL, which was 10mbps Ethernet over
fiber. Later it was upgraded to a shared FDDI ring with Ethernet attached
segments; later still, a mix of switched FDDI and switched 100Base-T and
GigE. The FDDI portion was turned off last summer, about a year ago now,
and what remains is a mix of GigE, OC-48 links, and a little bit of
remaining 100Base-T. But mostly, it's fallen into disuse relative to
Equinix Ashburn and PAIX-VA.
