Mixing billing with the reachability information signalled through BGP just doesn't seem like a good idea.
This is done all the time via combinatorial BGP/NetFlow analysis, for peering/transit analysis reports, offnet/on-net billing differentials, etc. The merits (or lack thereof) of the 'proposal' in question aside, there's nothing evil or stupid about doing this on one's own network. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice. -- H.L.
