If the connectivity problem is merely on the peering link between both providers, simply by transit from a third party who has some clue instead. Then none of your traffic will traverse the congesting peering link. Clueful transit will ensure their peering works to the best of their ability. [email protected] said: > Wouldn't this type of apathy tend to push toward government > involvement in this industry? Incompetence, lack of innovation, etc. etc. from large networks which have economies of scale and would otherwise dominate the market, is largely the reason which small companies survive, compete, grow and become large companies. This is true throughout the telco world. It's the free market. Once Sprint had no IP network to speak of. If you order the 5 largest IP networks by traffic profile, you may get some surprises. -- Alex Bligh GX Networks (formerly Xara Networks)
