This is all very interesting information. It seems at-home recently did the same thing with us, as they stopped all transit and were not on CIX, basically forcing us to peer with them. Is this the route to get peering with the big players that will now evolve? Forced peering due to unreachability?
Ya, we have the same problem, we will be at 7 NAPs by the end of the month, and DIGEX does not meet our peering requirements. If I don't peer with DIGEX then our customers yell at us when it is a DIGEX problem.
Just curious, but what are your peering requirements? It sounds like UUNET doesn't meet either your or AGIS's peering requirements, given that they are only at MAE {E & W} and Sprint NAP. (I don't believe they are peering with anyone at MAE Houston other than Sesquinet..) I assume you'll turn off DIGEX peering and UUNET peering at the same time? I wonder when AGIS is turning off their UUNET peering.... -dorian
