is there a clear understanding of "the edge" in the network operations community? in a simpler world, it was not that difficult, but interconnect has blossomed and grown all sorts of noodly appendages/extentions. I fear that edge does not mean what you think it means anymore.
For 5 9's worth of eyeball networks hanging off consumer-grade ADSL and cable connections, it's still the edge and still trivially filterable. If that's a problem, the ISP can upsell a business-class connection that doesn't filter. ;)
