Re: US/Canada International border concerns for routing

[Dave Cohen <craetdave () gmail com>]

It seems to me the original question was asking about it more from a legal perspective, in other words does Canadian 
traffic have to stay in Canada. IANAL (or a Canadian), but the answer is "mostly, no, especially as related to publicly 
routed traffic" as should be evidenced based on what's already been discussed here. In other words, there is restricted 
traffic but unless you're making a play for MAN/WAN type service on owned infrastructure, those requirements are 
unlikely to arise. 

To support the macro point, there is some big-boy level peering in Toronto but not really much else outside that, but 
there are plenty of routes that don't cross the border if you don't have to jump networks to your destination, for 
example going to an AWS on ramp in Canada using a native partner network, especially in the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal.
