All: The issue of asymmetric data flows is one of the reasons why we are building an optical Internet here in Canada. With an optical Internet you can traffic engineer individual wavelengths to support Tx/Rx asymmetric data flows in any way you want. This makes much more efficient use of the underlying fiber indrastructure.

If I buy a DS1 for transit from your network, I'm expecting theperson I payto provide transit - ALL OF THE TRANSIT.Of course, and I agree with you 100%. But I was not talking about a transit customer. I was talking about a peer whose traffic interchange is asymmetric and who therefore uses some regional transit in the other guy's network. I'm saying that instead of slamming the door in his face and telling him to buy transit, we need to have a scalable peering option that is a blend. Maybe I am headed in the wrong direction with this but I do believe we need a better solution for peering with asymmetric peers that reduces the barriers to entry to $$$. Right now there are barriers to entry that probably will not pass the scrutiny of the DOJ.No, its actually becoming MORE suitable. Instead of burning the entire circuit in both directions, you're only burning half of it now (one direction).You still have to pay for the whole circuit. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Communications Inc. - E-mail: michael () memra com Check the website for my Internet World articles -
