Okay. So, to summarise, you need a network where customers can connect in 15 states, and an aggregate of 150Mbps of traffic to/from UUNet. How many medium sized ISPs do we need to get to work together to make a "meta ISP" and get peering with UUNet ;) Simon -- Simon Lockhart | Tel: +44 (0)1737 839676 Internet Engineering Manager | Fax: +44 (0)1737 839516 BBC Internet Services | Email: Simon.Lockhart@bbc.co.uk Kingswood Warren,Tadworth,Surrey,UK | URL: http://support.bbc.co.uk/
This makes it very clear for those networks that want to consolidate their operations and reduce their overall transit costs. For example: a midsized access and a midsized web host could easily meet these requirements for AS701 peering; depending on your definition of a midsized host.

Hmm, what are they trying to prove? They want to own the Internet no doubt. I'd prefer to pay another like Genuity for transit to UUNET than pay them direct and feed their appetite for power. I imagine the policy has come from some executive meeting where they discuss ways to further capitalize on their existing market share.. Steve

Agreed. I am constantly telling UUNET sales monkeys that we'll gladly buy transit directly from them, as soon as they meet or beat the $ per Mb/s that we're currently getting. For now, I'll pay the 3ms "latency tax" to save 50% on the transit bill. (UUNET Sales Monkeys, do you read this list? STOP CALLING ME UNTIL YOU FIX YOUR PRICES!) --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc

Because, as we all know, Genuity has a much more generous peering policy.... --msa
