Re: Peering VLANs and MAC addresses

Who said "big carriers" don't join IXes? There are plenty of networks who have more traffic than some "teir ones" at IXes. Hell, RANDY has a presence at least one IX.

well, one of my routers does :-) and it moves almost 50kb/sec! i have spent <long enough i don't want to count> years trying to get large isps to peer openly (originally pushed by asp). the costs of managing in the presence of bad behavior on public meshes is often used as a reason not to peer publicly. randy
