Peering agreements for a public peering arrangement are a waste of legal time. When there is a cost associated with termination of a circuit then it makes more sense. Most peering agreements have the termination without cause clause regardless. YMMV. -ren At 03:00 PM 12/13/2001 -0500, Robert Tryce wrote:

Actually, I think it is a waste of everyone elses time. The legal folks seem to enjoy it though. -vb ----- Original Message ----- From: "renster" <ren@internet.rockstar.org> To: "Robert Tryce" <rtryce@deadnet.net>; <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 3:18 PM Subject: Re: Peering Agreements
