But, I certainly mean that CDN operators should not request peering directly to access/retail ISPs merely because they have their own transit, because the transit is not at all neutral.
I'm not sure that I understand this. Peering is rarely if ever neutral. It's almost always "My network and customers only to your network and customers only." CDNs and their customers (content providers) peering with ISPs and their customers (eyeballs) seems to me to be a win-win. Access/retail ISPs should want to peer with CDNs as it greatly reduces their transport costs. CDNs will want to peer with access/retail ISPs for the same reason. Specifically what is the objection to CDNs peering with access ISPs? -- Jay Hennigan - jay@west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
