I'm pretty sure that Verizon chooses who it peers with and how it announces BGP prefixes. This means that Verizon is largely in control of traffic engineering at its borders. If one of those transit providers is congested, this is something Verizon, as a responsible network operator, is surely aware of and has the capability to resolve. This is difficult, if even possible, for a source network operator to work around.
I think what this highlights is the possible risks and troubles with the different markets at play. Consumer vs "Enterprise" vs SMB vs "wholesale". These are discrete market segments and when there is a company that participates in some of them those growth curves look vastly different from each other. If the 80% rule is right I hear brandied about (80% of traffic is some form of video either amazon, youtube, netflix, hulu, redbox, etc..) that's different from an office network network pattern. I think we all know this, but not everyone I know translates this into a business case or practice. for me personally, the larger question is: If Verizon and Netflix have done a commercial deal (as reported in the press) what is holding up the installation of those ports? Of course, I'm not party to the discussions between the companies but do see it as interesting the dueling in the press/blogosphere. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
