Re: Sprint peering policy

Here's a fun exercise: Drop your 5 busiest peers, and see if your operating costs a) increase, b) decrease, or c) remain the same.

If your full cost of peering with UUNET (including things such as depreciation) comes to $400 per mbit/sec and via a promisig local ISP you can get transit to UUNET at $200 per mbit/sec, your costs will decrease. Just because the IP is free with peering does not mean that it costs $0 to peer. Alex
