https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering
> Public peering is accomplished across a Layer 2 access technology, generally called a shared fabric. At these locations, multiple carriers interconnect with one or more other carriers across a single physical port. Historically, public peering locations were known as network access points (NAPs); today they are most often called exchange points or Internet exchanges ("IXP"). Many of the largest exchange points in the world can have hundreds of participants, and some span multiple buildings and colocation facilities across a city.Since public peering allows networks interested in peering to interconnect with many other networks through a single port, it is often considered to offer "less capacity" than private peering, but to a larger number of networks. Many smaller networks, or networks which are just beginning to peer, find that public peering exchange points provide an excellent way to meet and interconnect with other networks which may be open to peering with them. Some larger networks utilize public peering as a way to aggregate a large number of "smaller peers", or as a location for conducting low-cost "trial peering" without the expense of provisioning private peering on a temporary basis, while other larger networks are not willing to participate at public exchanges at all.

> While other major IXPs charge for interconnection, DET-IX is providing 1G and 10G switch ports free of charge. DET-IX is available at 123.Net‘s 100,000 square feet carrier-neutral data center building located in Southfield, Michigan.

Idea: Camelot in Carcosa.
Recall that historical chivalry was essentially reformist.
It's about securing public order in society --- a tool of social control dressed up as moral aspiration.
It's the question of what to do with a class of rowdy, heavily armed young aristocrats and gentry who do not stand to inherit any land.
(Recall the downfall of Sparta --- lads without land.)
Those who pray, those who fight, those who work.
All this filtered through Carcosa.

> ...scholars have found that however far back in time "The Age of Chivalry" is searched for, it is always further in the past...
So, part of the packaging and sales job of chivalry is nostalgic.

> Upon reaching age twenty, the young Spartan sought induction into one of the collectivized mess units around which the lives of the Similars were organized. A youth who failed to be inducted into one of the units never became a true Similar; he was forced to join an inferior caste, his life in ruins before it had properly begun. The mess units, which contained about fifteen men each, were the basis of the organization of army and society alike: a Spartan fought beside, lived with (until marriage), and ate with his mess-mates. He owed them absolute fealty, and he owed them dinner on a regular rotation.
> In principle, each Spartan inherited a state-assigned plot of land, and a set of Helot-serfs to farm it. That land was notionally adequate for his sustenance, and adequate to provide his regular contribution to the mess unit. If, through bad luck or mismanagement, the Spartan was unable to’stand his round’–to feed his mess-mates when his turn came–he was cast out of the unit and demoted from the Similars.
Historical Sparta is sort of Carcosan, now that I think about it.
