Lets say RAS> you are Joe Sixpack ISP, and they peer with you in one RAS> location. They now have to haul your traffic to and from RAS> this one location, wasting expensive bandwidth on their RAS> backbone. Do they? Or might they peer using routes from the local point? Perhaps Little ISP in Denver would happily peer with Large Provider for Denver routes only.
