| Re: A simple business decision Even though you made it clear, I would bet that people will still confuse this peering arrangement with transit.
Down here, our major cities have their on IX(Internet Exchanges) which simply link all the ISPs in a city, TORIX is a fine example of that in the Toronto(Canada) area. We have so many DSL resellers down here, and most of them are linked using TORIX( »www.torix.ca/?data=peers ) so their traffic to each other doesn't have to go through a transit carrier. At times, we visit sites, say Bell Nexxia(don't peer with TORIX), which happens to be in the city I am in, and my routing takes me to TO--}CH--}TO--}Nexxia which I think is just lame when both things are in the same city, thats where Peering makes sense. Here's an example
