I am not a quantum physist (among many things I am not) but it would seem that two is too many--the likelyhood that they would always be exactly equal is vanishingly small (Heisingberg might insist it is impossible in principle) and as soon as the become unequal one (both?) disappear.
Ok, can someone tell me if I've fully understood this thread on peering agreements?
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
Um, I mean ... s/ANIMALS/PROVIDERS
In either case, I believe (in a Darwinian sense) that some behaviours are good survival tactics, some are not. "equality" is seldom mentioned in the stuff I read as a survival tactic. My guess is (and since it is a pretty big stretch to call me an ISP--I do play one in local theater, it only a guess) that the better survival tactic (better than worrying about "transit" and "peering") would involve concepts like "providing services will pay money for at a rate larger than I have to pay for them". -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- . . - L.
