Technology
The core of the Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) is an Arista Networks 7508 and a Cisco Catalyst 6509 at the Westin Building and an Extreme Networks X670 at Fisher Plaza. Participants may connect to the SIX core using a 1 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connection (fiber) or to one of several extensions. Many of the extensions are sponsored by the colocation facilities in the building, and many of these extensions support 100BASE-TX or greater connections.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 peering is available and encouraged at the SIX, availability is dependent on peer.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
