"There can only be *one* !" - WorldCom chant, Circa 1995.
WorldCom didn't know what IP SFI was in 95. Perhaps you mean UUNET/MFS?
Or, perhaps I mean Alternet, eh ?
- A Rose by any other name....
Or if you change "1995" above to "1997," which was when UUNET 1st announced the end of "free of charge" interconnections, then WorldCom would be correct, as they had just recently purchased UUNET. At least that's the date I have in the following paper I wrote a while back: http://www.2sparrows.org/Sean/rit/final%20thesis.pdf It's fairly outdated now but may be a good read for those that haven't been around that long and seem to be a bit confused on peering vs. transit and other such things. At least the 1st 1/2 of it before it ventures off into telco realms. /Sean
