My feeling is the market will shift into forcing non-peering NSPs into peering relatively soon. How can companies like Sprint and UUNET not afford to peer with networks such as ourselves, @home, compuserve, and many others that they have refused, yet honor peerings with networks that have 1 T1 to an IXP. More and more people will simply shove their traffic through the already bogged down CIX router.
Nope. More and more people will peer with each other but not with the big 6 thus eventually creating a parallel universe at the core of the net. Michael Dillon - ISP & Internet Consulting Memra Software Inc. - Fax: +1-604-546-3049 http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael@memra.com
