If they exchanged full routes, wouldn't that be mutual transit, not peering?
Settlement free transit? Sounds like the wave of the future to me. Oh wait it's only March 29th, we're still 3 days away. :) Alas, as anyone who has ever watched Internap when they go flappy flappy can attest, BGP does not handle an excessive number of transit paths very well. I'd really hate to picture the size of the boom that would happen if people WERE to exchange transit paths with each other on anything other than a rare and isolated basis. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
