I agree, but how do you decide who is hurt more?
Turn off connectivity and see.
And therefore who should be the vendor and who is the customer?
See above.
Is the "bigger" network always the vendor, or is the network with more content the vendor, or the network with more eyeballs the vendor? That's what I don't understand about the "balance" requirement. Ok, so you know the traffic is imbalanced, but whose fault/hurt is it when traffic is imbalanced? And who is responsible for "fixing" the imbalance in traffic?
The simple answer is I'm the vendor and you are the customer, so you should pay me.
The simple answer is: Do the people you are selling to ask how your connectivity to <Network A> is AND if Network A's sales people get asked the same question about _your_ network. If not, then giddy up and start following the "sales process (C) 2001 smd" /vijay "time to put the peer back in peering" gill
