Re: Lessons from the AU model

OK, I give and admit my ignorance. What does "MLP" mean in this context ?

A google search for "Australia mlp" reveals many hits for "My Little Pony,"
which somehow I doubt is the intended meaning on this list.

A proper reference would be appreciated.

Regards
Marshall

.. think about what happens when your customers' routes start appearing
through your MLP session as well.
Standard practice would be to localpref customer routes over peering routes.[...] The customer's inbound (standard billing metric) won't be affected but their ratio might.

I'm really happy for you to sell me some transit as long as I can peer with you over MLP as well. Small commit. I agree to give you some of my prefixes over the paid session, but I'm going to put all of my routes and my customer's routes on the MLP.

With any luck you wont notice, just be happy that you suddenly seem to be selling more transit via your upstreams and also peering off more data too.. :-)
