When I was at DePaul and when we connected to AADS I sent a lot of those types of emails to whoever the contacts were that were also connected there. Those that had open peering policies would often email back that they had already configured something and were ready when I was. Some, probably chuckling, never responded and some kindly sent back the equivalent of the "Here is a link to our peering policy, if you can meet these requirements then sure (but we both know you can't :-)" standard reply. Some organizations find it beneficial to peer with as many people as possible at the exchanges. The NANOG Peering BoF uses a partially derisive, but mostly humor intended term for these folks. John
