Sounds like a high stakes game of Internet Peering Chicken. Who gets damaged the most when BBN customers complain they cannot access Exodus and Abovenet customers, and Exodus and Abovenet customers complain they cannot be accessed by BBN customers? If I were a BBN customer, I'd be pissed. If I were hosted by Abovenet, I wouldn't be too happy either. Perhaps BBN management just passed a course in Tearing up the Internet for fun and profit. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[email protected]> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
