right - I see this really as something that should be decided at the edge of the internet (Tier2+) and not in the core.
"Core"? Seriously? Which of these statements are true: A) Is it impossible for an end user or business (i.e. non-ISP) to get a direct connection to a "Tier 1" (whatever the hell that means) provider. B) Most traffic on the Internet traverses Tier 1s today. C) A Tier 1 has a different profit motive than a Tier 2 (whatever the hell that means) providers. D) All Tier 1 providers are larger than all Tier 2 providers. We'll just skip over the E) all of the above. -- TTFN, patrick P.S. Hint: If you answered A, B, C, or D, you aren't paying attention.
