Operational impact of depeering

It would be great if we could shift focus and think about the operations impact of depeering vs. just the political and/or contractual ramifications.

Have there been any proposals put forth to the NANOG PC to review this highly visible depeering at the NANOG meeting this month?

Aside from anything else, there is this interesting topic on the agenda: Abstract: NetFlow-based Traffic Analysis Techniques for Peering Networks Richard Steenbergen, nLayer Communications, and Nathan Patrick, Sonic.net Seems to me that a discussion of traffic analysis could handle a slide or two on actual impacts of this depeering. --Michael Dillon
