Re: Agenda for next NANOG

Actually, the traditional point2point link between any two ISPs is a private interconnect. It does not have to be a provider/subscriber relationship.

True, but let's look at the goal and not at the implementation. If customers actively requested that their providers make available interconnect statistics, and made such statistics a contractual requirement, perhaps this would happen more often. Of course, merely saying that is not quite so simple, since there are folks who have made (or claimed to have made) such requests in the past. Nevertheless, the current economic model does not expressly prohibit this kind of thing. --jhawk
