Anytime UUnet asks for a fee for peering, just tell them that > you really consider them unequal, and that they should pay YOU! This brings up a really interesting point. The premise stated here is that uunet's customers are accessing farm.com's servers. If farm.com's servers were unreachable because UUNET refused to allow traffic to that site (directly or indirectly) uunet would suffer. However, the reverse perspective must also be considered. farm.com is providing a service for its cusomters. if farm.com cannot be reached from uunet, farm.com loses the revenue that uunet's customer's generate. So uunet receives complaints from its customers that they can't access farm.com and farm.com receives complaints that uunet can't access farm.com. Who is responsible for the fix? Ultimately, I think farm.com would have to give in to keep customers from moving services to a "better connected" provider. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Bouchard GlobalCenter [email protected] Primenet Network Engineering Internet Solutions for (602) 416-6422 800-373-2499 x6422 Growing Businesses FAX: (602) 416-9422 http://www.primenet.com http://www.globalcenter.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
