Exodus GTEI/BBN
The real question is who will pull out first. I do not agree with GTEI/BBN's tactics, but unfortunately they need to do what they need to do.
What I think will happen is that Exodus/GTEI will revert to public peering and this whole thing will just blow over. Neither network would expect to win anything by either refusing to peer at all, or demanding private peering, or demanding a transit relationship. In other words this particular brew-ha-ha is not going to set any precedents. -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA "Many NANOG members have been around <paul@vix.com> longer than most." --Jim Fleming pacbell!vixie!paul (An H.323 GateKeeper for the IPv8 Network)
