In response to the *smart* comments (not repeated here), the percentages given are of external traffic only. The 2% not accounted for is due to rounding down the results. I suppose I can do it to more decimal places if you really want it. Also we do retain lots of our own traffic, but I felt it was irrevalent for the purposes of this discussion, so retained traffic was not included in the calculations.

DataXchange purchases transit from uunet, mci & sprint. But we also aggressively try to peer with those who wish to peer. Gary, you are wrong to say that 90% of traffic is for uunet, mci or sprint. I have the statistics on my own network to prove this. Typically we see a breakdown like this: MCI 22% Sprint 7% UUNET 21% all other (via peering) 48% In our opinion since only 52% of the traffic has its best routing thru uunet, sprint & mci, bi-lateral peering is definately worthwhile.
