IANAL, but that doesn't smell right. Seems sort of... anti- competitive... I guess if one is trying to meet the traffic ratio, one could reroute certain traffic through an intermediary. Maybe some nets tried this, met the minimum/geo/ratio requirements, and there just _had_ to be another way to depeer? Or maybe they want to peer with ASNs who don't purchase transit? Perhaps they want the ability to quickly *coughpsilastsummer* depeer *coughexoduspeersrecently* anyone as they please? (Can't think of anything more serious at the moment.) I guess people must vote with wallet and local-pref? I've joked that we'll peer with anyone who hooks me up with a hot, geeky gal. Now I begin to wonder just how kooky that idea is. ;-) RAS> I don't suppose they'd take too kindly to an ascii diagram RAS> which just happens to resemble a middle finger, would RAS> they? :) "Hey, what are all these packets with .|.. ` in the header?!" ;-) Just wait until IPv6 when people forge source packets with octets that spell obscene messages when interpretted as ASCII. Or even as EBCDIC if 5|<r1pt |<1dd135 get interested in history. ;-) -- Eddy Brotsman & Dreger, Inc. - EverQuick Internet Division Phone: +1 (316) 794-8922 Wichita/(Inter)national Phone: +1 (785) 865-5885 Lawrence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 11:23:58 +0000 (GMT) From: A Trap <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Please ignore this portion of my mail signature.
