There are also potential backup transit paths through other participants in the event of your main transit link failing. Current participants List of current participants. Applications Squid siblings - participants dynamically share the contents of their web cache via the NAPette. NNTP sharing - 2 news servers fetch news via their respective transit links, and share articles between themselves via the NAPette. FTP mirrors - participants who run FTP sites make these available to other participants via the NAPette.
Internet connectivity is maintained.
Participants readvertise some NAPette routes via their transit links, and resell transit traffic to NAPette members. There are other benefits besides IP level exchange of data. Bandwidth The NAPette currently supports both 33.6k analogue and 64k ISDN indials, plus 33.6k or 56k outdials if that is more suited to your setup. There are currently 10 serial ports total.
