The proper solution is for all these companies to form a consortium. The consortium would run the NAP and contract with multiple NSP's for service. In that case, the NSP's are not providing transit to non-customers because the consortium is the customer and every ISP who joins the consortium gets multihoming reliability outside the region.
Ah - we may have something that works - we have someone (the consortium) being paid (by these companies) to provide (or further purchase) transit. However I'm not sure how this works of one (or more) of these companies decides to buy or provide transit on their own (outside of the consortium). Lets pick a company (call it X) that decides to do this. Now X's routes have to be known outside of the consortium's aggregate (since X is providing its own global transit and since X does not want to give free transit to the entire aggregate). Humm - this does not seem to scale. I suppose that if you find a set of companies that are all willing to be part of the consortium & just part of the consortium, then you could do addressing for this consortium as a whole. Hey! I think that we just invented provider (consortium) based addressing again. --asp () uunet uu net (Andrew Partan)
