I peer with several providers only at MAE-East, who also have connections elsewhere. But they've never turned up peering at the other places. So all the traffic ends up flowing through MAE-East. Sean, It seems to me that you're being screwed..... As far as I remember, every peering agreement we have (even with Sprint and MCI) says that we agree to peer with each other at *_every_* location that we are both present at. Isn't that the right way to do it? Selective peering is almost as bad as prepending AS's Rodney Joffe Chief Plumber Genuity Inc., a Bechtel company http://www.genuity.net
