I grind my teeth every time I hear it, since "transit" doesn't mean "to select parts of the internet" in most people's eyes. It's really a paid peering offering, but no matter how much I try to correct people, the habit of calling it "domestic transit" still persists. :(I don't think there is a universally agreed upon definition of what transit means other than it involves someone paying someone else.
Hurricane Electric routinely offers free transit on IPv6, and, we give free transit to many organizations on IPv4 as well. To us, transit means giving them routes that are not originated by our ASN or ASNs which are customers of our ASN. Owen
