Once upon a time, Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> said: > D.

Doesn't that mean that, if you had a failure peering with C&W, you'd be cut off (even if you were buying transit from someone else like UUNet for example)? Seems like that would give C&W extra leverage in a peering dispute, since, by the peering agreement, your C&W peering connections would be your _only_ connections to the C&W network. You can't buy transit that _might_ get you to C&W's network if you want to peer with them. > Oh BTW on the subject of peering, has anyone noticed that AOL has cut off > a large number of transit providers and reportedly a number of content > hoster peers (though I havn't seen this first-hand) in recent days. I We recently received an email from AOL with the Subject "AOL email concerns for hiwaay.net". It had some vague statistics: Total percentage of messages bounced: 0 Total percentage of bounces accepted: 45% Total number of AOL member complaints: 0 It then went on to say that if we didn't respond in 24 hours, we may be blocked from AOL. I responded asking for more information, but never heard back (and they didn't block us). I didn't see many AOL bounces in our logs, and I'm not sure what "percentage of bounces accepted" means (especially when the percentage of messages bounced is zero). Anybody know what they mean by this? -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
