Hi there,

There isn't any one correct name convention for naming routers.
Different entities use different nomenclature.  The corporation i work
for uses the first 4 letters of the city where it's located and then
the two alphanumeric facility code.

The isp I used to work for used city name only, since there were only
one router at each POP.  

It just varies on what you want to use.

> interface(atm).location(NY).domain.com?
