Well basically you need to think of it like this. If the providers that are getting cut were actually "peers" of BBN, then BBN would feal the pain, in fact they are not "peers". BBN can cut them off their network and will not feal a thing. BBN customers will still be able to reach the cut ISPs from their transit providers. If the providers were "peer" then when BBN tried to cut them they both would feal the pain and BBN would most likley turn it back up in a hour or so.
I was under the impression that, by this definition, BBN considered Exodus to be a "peer". Is this not the case?
