That's a repetition of the same position that's been stated over and over, without justification. If A sends to B directly in the absence of an advertised route, A is "stealing" resources from B. If B sends to A indirectly through A's transit provider, then B is "stealing" resources from A. What makes the former case worse in your mind than the latter, when it results in higher reliability, lower cost, and a sounder architecture?
The latter is not "stealing", it's sending packets to the advertised route. The former is "stealing", it's sending packets to an unannounced route. Owen - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
