When all you have is a hammer the whole world looks like a nail. That's what "de-peering for security sake" sounds like to me. Sure, you have your hands on BGP etc, so what router commands (hammer) can effect international policy (nail)? This is fundamentally a social and political issue and needs to be dealt with on that level, not with changes in router configs. We need an effective forum with effective participation perhaps eventually leading to signed contractual obligations agreed to by all parties. Perhaps way at the end of that process router commands can be used to enforce agreed contracts and respond to adjudicated breeches, if and when necessary. Otherwise it's just rule by an angry mob. The internet has gotten way too big and critical for that sort of approach. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
