I'm presuming that Exodus is planning to get the transit they need after this depeering via C&W's peering points? If so, this makes a certain amount of sense - no need to maintain separate peering circuits; this is probably just a step in the eventual assimilation of Exodus' IP backbone into C&W's. -C On Tue, Mar 26, 2002 at 11:12:12AM -0600, Chris Parker wrote:
Well, another round of the depeering battles.
We received notice this morning that Exodus is depeering at all US public exchanges on Friday ( gotta love that notice by the way ). They are also not accepting any requests for private peering ( despite meeting the requirements still listed on the peering page ):

They will happily continue to sell transit at said exchanges though, and all C&W peering contacts forward to sales ( ain't that cute! ).
Should be interesting to see how this impacts the ability to reach sites hosted at Exodus.
