Well, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for this - how many (non-networking) companies will do things which don't benefit their customers on behalf of someone who is not a customer (and shows no sign of becoming one)? I can't think of any offhand, and I don't think that a whole lot would show up in an exhaustive search. The chain should be: if under attack (or whatever) - you call YOUR UPSTREAM. They should call their upstream, etc. Basically, you should call providers with whom you have a relationship, and not call those with whom you don't. If you DO call a provider with whom you don't have a relationship, don't expect the highest quality of service! To me, this is pretty obvious: UUNet's policies are geared to help their customers.

I'm glad that they help non-customer, non-peers, but I'd have to call it going "above and beyond". just my $.0158 (adjusted for inflation) ===== David Barak -fully RFC 1925 compliant- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
