Depending on who gives in first, and when.
If Exodus breaks down and purchases connectivity from someone to get to
BBN, then obviously is will not effect BBN in the slightest. If Exodus
buys BBN routes from someone other than BBN (sprint, mci), then it gets
quite funny; more PX's or MAE's get overloaded with traffic that was
privately between Exodus and BBN, and BBN has caused one of its
competitors (MCI/Sprint/whoever Exodus ends up buying from (if they do))
to gain more revunue flow.
Considering that BBN is the one who cut peering with Exodus, I presume
Exodus will have a bad taste in thier mouth, and not buy from BBN (I could
guess that BBN assumed this also).
With all this in mond, BBN, IMHO, made a horrendously poor choice.
BBN, turning peering into a boys club.
