| Private Exchange. It is a private exchange between SPRINT and Exodus. I see. And is it your assertion that Exodus does not pay for this peering, and that, moreover, the payment does not include transit services? One of the reasons I wonder, of course, is that it is pretty apparent from traceroutes that Sprint is not routing towards Exodus uniformly (see below, note different exits). Now why would Sprint do that on a settlement-free basis? I'm also curious about the assertion that you have no transit at all. Not even from Worldcom, maybe? I'm sure a public reassertion that there Exodus has NO paid-for transit from ANYONE would be interesting to everyone.
