Thanks for the clarification on the number. I was surprised to see that number too! At the same time, we couldn't even find genuine disputes apart from the ones we shared. It seems there should be more but we just could not find them on the web. On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 2:53 PM, Fredy Kuenzler <kuenzler@init7.net> wrote:

As claimed in http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~misra/news/CD070113.pdf , 500 to 1000 de-peering happens on a daily basis today.
I suppose this is just by technical incapabilities. People leak prefixes, hit max-pref limters, forget to clear sessions or don't bother increasing limits, they migrate gear from Cisco to Brocade or Juniper and cannot recover encrypted MD5 passwords... or management decisions decide to pull from an exchange.
I don't consider this "de-peering" a peering dispute or an offensive act. The majority of vanished BGP adjacencies are due to laziness or technical limitations.
