DataXchange purchases transit from uunet, mci & sprint. But we also aggressively try to peer with those who wish to peer. Gary, you are wrong to say that 90% of traffic is for uunet, mci or sprint. I have the statistics on my own network to prove this. Typically we see a breakdown like this: MCI 22% Sprint 7% UUNET 21% all other (via peering) 48% In our opinion since only 52% of the traffic has its best routing thru uunet, sprint & mci, bi-lateral peering is definately worthwhile.
