That's a repetition of the same position that's been stated over and over, without justification. If A sends to B directly in the absence of an advertised route, A is "stealing" resources from B. If B sends to A indirectly through A's transit provider, then B is "stealing" resources from A. What makes the former case worse in your mind than the latter, when it results in higher reliability, lower cost, and a sounder architecture? Reiterating the same position over and over without any basis or logical foundation does nothing to convince anyone that your position is of any merit. -Bill ________________________________________________________________________________ bill woodcock woody@zocalo.net woody@applelink.apple.com user@host.domain.com
