I've tried to stay away from posting here, but a small clarification... Exodus is currently dealing with the asymmetry of traffic by assuming a large chunk of the burden by doing best-exit, at BBN's request, based upon BBN's MEDs. So let's not make it into the argument that the "evil" web hosters are just dumping recklessly via shortest-path out. Exodus has assumed the cost of all long haul delivery coast-to-coast of the data that BBN's users are requesting. **The above opinion is that of mine & Exodus Communications Inc. It is not intended to reflect the opinions of John Curran, CTO of BBN/GTE/GTEI Robert Bowman Director Backbone Engineering Exodus Communications Inc. rob () exodus net
http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/daily/980810h.htmlJohn Curran says: "The central problem is asymmetry of traffic between GTEI and the hosting companies, Curran said. Exodus pumps many times more bits to GTEI than are sent the other way." My rebut (which, may be totally uncalled for): "The central problem is asymmetry of traffic between GTEI and the hosting companies, Curran said. BBN/GTEI customers generally request webpages from Exodus more than from other places." -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
