Ralph, Two points, here. One is, Sprint won't peer with you. I'm not even sure who you work for, but rest assured, they will not peer with you. Time spent on this might be better utilized reading some of Bill Norton's excellent intro to peering papers, or, if you work for a company that is truly serious about peering, you could hire an experienced peering engineer, to assist you with this. There are several that are currently available. The second point is, whomever you spoke to has violated a non-disclosure agreement, one that is normally taken seriously. I would tread carefully in this area, as it may get whomever you spoke with in a significant amount of trouble. Finally, I'm not sure why anyone would want to actually waste the time on this - there are numerous large tier 2 networks that are starting to get peering initiatives going. If you are large enough, I'm sure they would love to peer with you. Remember - peering that first 50% of your traffic is not that hard, if you have the resources, contacts and knowledge. It's that last bit that hurts. - Daniel Golding

It seems to be the toughest one I've seen -=OC48 in 14 US cities, >=OC12 to Europe. To find out the trafficminimums and ratios it looks like an NDA is required... Ralph Doncaster principal, IStop.com
