Will someone please fix com-priv@psi.com so this traffic can be redirected to a more appropriate list... @Home told me they require peers to be at three exchange points, except @Home was only at three exchange points (mae-east, west, and sprint) at the time. I told Cathy thanks, and to let me know when they were at some more exchange points we had in common to meet their own list of peering requirements (cix or chicago whenever Ameritech's sales force gets around to bringing up our circuit).

This is all very interesting information. It seems at-home recently did the same thing with us, as they stopped all transit and were not on CIX, basically forcing us to peer with them. Is this the route to get peering with the big players that will now evolve? Forced peering due to unreachability? -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
