like to point out for the record that none of the recent depeering battles have involved any RBOCs...
Which makes sense when you consider much of the current traffic flows. It gets even more interesting when you look at the fast-increasing number of fat FiOS pipes. When you take (edonkey/kazaa/ptp-du-jour)+FiOS you get a network of distributed 'content providers'. Reference the earlier post about broadband getting a lot less interesting w/o the content. Well this rings true when you weigh the traffic load of 100K's of users poking around in a portal vs. 100K's of users 'shopping' for music & movies! ___________________________________________________________ Wayne Gustavus, CCIE #7426 IP Operations Support Verizon Internet Services ___________________________________________________________ "Can you ping me now?
