Thanks for the explanation.
I understand on layer 2 or like william point out (on anything other than IP) it make total sense.
However on layer 3, with existing transit bandwith with said provider it would be redudant. (Assume The one you wanted peer at site b is already peering with your provider).
The term "virtual PoP" is more commercial than it is technical. As William mentioned, you are providing services via someone else's infrastructure. It is between you and that other network to determine how much of their infrastructure you will depend on. But ultimately, the objective is for you to reduce your exposure in what you would consider a new venture that still needs some proofing. Mark.
