And what if "terminating" versus "transit" depends on where you observe from? (For example, if we provide transit to a downstream, but only announce a route to one of our upstreams, and that one upstream limits the further redistribution of the route..)
Really? This is a question? You're a terminating, or 'eyeball', network if the preponderance of your customers are end-users, resi or biz. Small-biz networks that are single uplink count here, yes. You're a transit network, if the preponderance of your customers are other networks, including larger business networks that are or might become multi-homed. In short, if the plurality of your customers have an ASN. I don't even make a living at this, and I didn't have a problem with this definition... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
