Um, wha? There are providers that will do "one-way" billing (charging less per Mb/s in one direction than the other), but the majority of usage-based transit services are sold without regard to which directino the highest traffic goes. Now peering, that's a different story. Peering partners, for better or for worse, will get snippy if in/out traffic ratios are out of whack. -C On Mon, Apr 08, 2002 at 07:48:49PM -0700, Gironda, Andre wrote: > > > All ISP's selling transit ask for strict traffic ratios. > How often do you think they get what they ask for?
