Ok, let me show why this isn't a valid reason. Me: Will you peer with me on both coasts with this bandwidth using this protocol? BigISP: No, because we don't trust ..... Me: Will you sell me the same, identical connections in multiple locations using the same, identical protocols? BigISP: Of course, yes. Me: If you have systems in place to protect your network against my network as a customer, why don't those exact same systems work when you connect the same network, router and protocol as a peer? BigISP: Its too complicated, and you wouldn't understand. Question: historically have more routing snafus originated in "customer" BGP sessions or in "peer" BGP sessions?
