Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 11:24:25 -0400 From: RJ Atkinson <rja () inet org> Curious. I've never heard that definition of Tier-1 before. The common definition is "doesn't pay any other ISP to exchange routes and traffic", or so I've thought for the past decade.
I've seen people colo'ed at AboveNet and Exodus claiming to be "Tier-1" themselves. IMESHO, "Tier-1" = provider who wishes to believe that they are something special, but cannot provide any facts to substantiate their claim... hence they resort to vaguely-defined-at-best sales BS. Even if we were a "Tier-1" provider, I'd not want to use that term. What is the point in bragging about something with no standard definition?
