There is interesting question - does SprintLink use this peering for the traffic _from USA_ to _you_, or for it's UK customers only?
It appears that GSL announces all of their _European_ routes to us, but we don't see any US SprintLink routes. (Or Asian routes, as I recall.)
We have one example - there is Relcom there, and we are presented on our M9-IX exchange point. New provider (small-small there, XXX Global Networks, the Russian branch) asks us to make peering with them. We asked - if this allow us to get traffic _from_ and _to_ XXX Global via this link - _no, this will be peering with russian branch only_ was the answer.
