However, I was reminded by Andrew Odlyzko that the cable tv industry's (MSOs') peering universe constitute a form of flattened 'edge', if one were to consider the larger Internet's core against the MSO community, which makes for another form of interesting analysis, since much of today's (especially more capacious) residential "broadband" flows begin and end on MSOs' networks, and sometimes never touch the larger core, fwiw. And this opens the door to other forms of "walled garden" environments, including intranets, some providers' CDNs, extranets, and so on. Frank A.
