I've tried to stay away from posting here, but a small clarification... Exodus is currently dealing with the asymmetry of traffic by assuming a large chunk of the burden by doing best-exit, at BBN's request, based upon BBN's MEDs. So let's not make it into the argument that the "evil" web hosters are just dumping recklessly via shortest-path out. Exodus has assumed the cost of all long haul delivery coast-to-coast of the data that BBN's users are requesting. **The above opinion is that of mine & Exodus Communications Inc.
