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. :(This is relatively common in europe too - normally under the name 'partial transit'.
At least they are naming it correctly.
paid peering: [provider AS] + [providers customers] partial transit: [provider AS] + [providers customers] + [providers peers] Pricing is typically 5-20% of the cost of full routes, and will provide in the region of 40-120k routes.
And pricing it correctly! Let's see, transit is at $1/Mbps, so I can get 120K prefixes for $0.05/Mbps? <snicker> -- TTFN, patrick
