If party X feels that party Y is gaining more from the interconnect that they are, X might feel the need to lay some surcharges of some time on the connection, which is only fair, if they feel they aren't receiving value for value.
If indeed, two carriers are only exchanging -peer- routes, not transit, how -could- one or the other feel they are getting an unfair balance of traffic ? This is -only- unbalanced when the cost of the PORT on the main carrier exceeds the bandwidth traded... probably payback is a couple hundred K a second over the course of a year. Then again, of that is all it is the secondary carrier could hardly cost justify the cost of the wire, thus self limiting the abuse. By definition, if it is ONLY peer routes, it would be strictly a trade of traffic between mutual customers. Back to my original question.
