RE: valley free routing?

["Siegel, David" <David.Siegel () Level3 com>]

Having been employed by a provider V in one such example of the below, I viewed it as a temporary, partial transit 
relationship.  Does such a situation meet Bill's original definition?

once upon a time, provider A and provider P were having a peering war, and provider V provided valley transit for P's 
prefixes to A.  it was not meant to be seen publicly, but the traceroutes were posted to nanog, or maybe it was 
com-priv at the time.

this is far from the only time this has happened.
