Scott: Ratios are normally applied to either direction, since it is not totally understood who benefits from what traffic direction. Who benefits: the eyball or the content provider??? But keep in mind traffic ratios are only one parameter to establish a mutially equal beneit.

In the case of 1.5 to 1 which seems really close but I'm assuming this means I can send you 1.5 to every one received. Does this also apply in the inverse ie uunet sends back to me only 1.5 to my 1 or is this less critical? On Tue, 7 May 2002, PETER JANSEN wrote:

Traffic ratios are one of the many parameters that ensure equality and a mutual benefit between networks in a settlement free peering relationship.
Have a look at our peering policy at www.cw.com/peering. It will provide you with some information on peering with large networks.

I'm not overly familiar with this but I wondered if someone could detail for me the basics of using ratios to determine elegibility to peer? I have heard that some carrers especially the largest require a specific ratio is this in fact true and is the logic as simple as just insuring equal use of the peer?
Thanks
