  i have received the attached email.  as it is not marked
  confidential I have attached it here for review.

  quite.

  no.

  in fact, i believe nsps should use bilaterally provided unique address
  space at public exchange points, to model private
  interconnections, though the public fabric is shred.

  ie - instead of using 198.32.136.x/24, a network should use
  a.b.c.d/30, where a.b.c.d/30 comes out of one, or the other,
  peer's address space.

  the maes and naps are no longer the center of the internet, and
  therefore mae/nap reachability is of little consequence.
