I believe BBN was pressured by GTEI to do this and could isolate BBN and GETI from peering with the internetwork, from a severe market backlash from decisions deemed harmful to the fabric of the internet itself, I am dismayed at this greed. Henry R. Linneweh alex () nac net wrote:
Depending on who gives in first, and when. If Exodus breaks down and purchases connectivity from someone to get to BBN, then obviously is will not effect BBN in the slightest. If Exodus buys BBN routes from someone other than BBN (sprint, mci), then it gets quite funny; more PX's or MAE's get overloaded with traffic that was privately between Exodus and BBN, and BBN has caused one of its competitors (MCI/Sprint/whoever Exodus ends up buying from (if they do)) to gain more revunue flow. Considering that BBN is the one who cut peering with Exodus, I presume Exodus will have a bad taste in thier mouth, and not buy from BBN (I could guess that BBN assumed this also). With all this in mond, BBN, IMHO, made a horrendously poor choice. BBN, turning peering into a boys club.That is yet to be seen. If this move reduces the quality of connectivity for their customers they could lose a lot of business too.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
