My point, If US operators only want to accept prefixes for 'free' from networks that account for a percentage of their traffic, your in a position to effectively blackhole much of the developing nations Internet. Is access to a countries Internet more or less important than access to a route with a different bit length or traffic level ? The size of prefix isn't necessarily the only basis for that prefixes value. > -drc -- James This Email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
