I'm with Brett on this one... Is there any gain in advertising you don't have a back door if congestion / network failure occurs with a peer? Thinking back about all the work-arounds to get to specific peers that couldn't add capacity where they wanted because of long drawn out merger/acquisition activity makes me think a backdoor is wise and that customers would expect such professional planning. Sitting on customer calls I've heard that they don't want to go with network providers that might be transit free but are reputed congestion nightmares.
Call it insurance against evolution... -Ren At 01:17 PM 4/19/00 -0700, brett watson wrote:
