Of course, and I agree with you 100%. But I was not talking about a transit customer. I was talking about a peer whose traffic interchange is asymmetric and who therefore uses some regional transit in the other guy's network. I'm saying that instead of slamming the door in his face and telling him to buy transit, we need to have a scalable peering option that is a blend. Maybe I am headed in the wrong direction with this but I do believe we need a better solution for peering with asymmetric peers that reduces the barriers to entry to $$$. Right now there are barriers to entry that probably will not pass the scrutiny of the DOJ. > No, its actually becoming MORE suitable.
