Who gets hurt more if a hole is created due to de-peering?

Not so fast. While each of his customers is more inconvenienced than each c&w customer, c&w has more customers. The net inconvenience (total number of people inconvenienced multiplied by the average inconvenience to each) might be nearly the same on both sides. As an added bonus, he has someone else to blame.
That depends. Somebody that small (0.0001) is not going to be transit free... so there isn't really a hole created. Sure, the smaller guy is going to be paying more on transit rather than peering, but C&W customers probably won't notice a thing, other than some relief on the congested pipes to the public peering points. -- John Payne http://www.sackheads.org/jpayne/ john@sackheads.org http://www.sackheads.org/uce/ Fax: +44 870 0547954 To send me mail, use the address in the From: header
