Some companies feel entitled to charging more for their routes than they would for simple transit.

John: Hopefully this comes out clearly, as writing can be more confusing than speaking... Are you getting at Inter AS /SLA/QOS that you would get from transit vs. best effort peering? Even that has some issues, the one that jumps out to me is hopefully clearly stick figure-diagrammed below: AS#x $--SLA-->Transit ok... But... AS#x $--SLA-->Transit <-(second hop)--Customers/Peers---No Qos/SLA---> My point is it is hard to do anything beyond the first AS# for any SLA that you would be paying, since after that the packet switches to no money packets on a paid connection, pushing out the issue for things sent down that pipe...
