I was once with a provider that charged something stupid like $500 per BGP session. This really isn't that big of a surprise. On 10 Dec 2014, at 8:33 pm, John Levine <johnl@iecc.com> wrote:
Haven't encountered this myself, but putting a price on DFZ routing slots seems like a Good Thing to me.
Paid to whom?
Yes, it would be nice to put more backpressure on announcements to get the size of the DFZ down. But unless you can figure out how to get the money from the people announcing the routes to the people actually running the backbone routers, fees are just a way for providers to extract more money from their customers.
