Re: Just the beginging Mark the difference between AT&T Internet Services (ATTIS), which provides your network connections to other transit services, and AT&T Worldnet Services (ATTW), which is the Tier 1 backbone transit provider offering services comparable to Level 3, Qwest, and Verizon (Business); all of which are also Tier 1 networks.
ATTIS will only connect with ATTW when routing tables call for it.
You, as an at&t Yahoo! HSI customer, will be on the ATTIS network until it connects with a destination transit provider, as announced in BGP by the destination.
P.S. I forgot to mention that ATTIS will connect directly to Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! networks, without going through any other transit. At least for all trace routes I have ever run to them.
