So by extension, if you enter an agreement and promise to remain balanced y= ou can just willfully throw that out and abuse the heck out of it? Where do= es it end? Why even bother having peering policies at all then?
It doesn't strike you as a ridiculous promise to extract from someone? "Hi I'm an Internet company. I don't actually know what the next big thing next year will be but I promise that I won't host it on my network and cause our traffic to become lopsided." Wow. Is that what you're saying?
To use an analogy, if you and I agree to buy a car together and agree to sw= itch off who uses it every other day, can I just say "forget our agreement = =96 I=92m just going to drive the car myself every single day =96 its all m= ine=94?
Seems like a poor analogy since I'm pretty sure both parties on a peering can use the port at the same time. ...
