Just remember that while a 5 minute average may not be at 100%, the microbursts are probably quite a bit over that. For an ISP who actually cares about making money it's not *easy* to say "I'm terminating my peer to PSI because of their degraded performance and unwillingness to upgrade", but a de-localpref'ing is probably a good idea. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
