is there a clear understanding of  "the edge" in the network operations
community?  in a simpler world, it was not that difficult, but interconnect
has blossomed and grown all sorts of noodly appendages/extentions.  I fear
that edge does not mean what you think it means anymore.

For 5 9's worth of eyeball networks hanging off consumer-grade ADSL and cable
connections, it's still the edge and still trivially filterable.    If that's a
problem, the ISP can upsell a business-class connection that doesn't filter. ;)
