Re: Provider credibility - does it matter? was Re: Inter-provider relations
So what's the problem? Basically, one organisation, Ebone, which operates a fairly large pan-European net, won't peer with others. This means that European customers connected to non-Ebone connected providers like Global One lack European connectivity without going through the US. Ebone provides great connectivity at cost, but the big US NSPs making presences in Europe naturally don't want to buy bandwidth from someone like Ebone. We'll see what happens.

I don't think this is correct. Ebone peers with other pan-european networks of comparable size, IBM, BT and EUnet comes to my mind. G1 is a customer of Ebone and connects in Paris. --Peter

In fact, last time I heard, EBONE and EUnet's peering policy bore an uncanny resemblence to those of Sprint & MCI (albeit bandwidth scaled). Alex Bligh Xara Networks

From Ebone's own pages, BT is listed as a customer to Ebone, and it is said the IBM and EUnet have transit agreements with Ebone. I can't find any direct text stating Ebone's peering policies, but on the Amsterdam IX page (http://www.ams-ix.net/) the following is said: Policy: Does generally not peer except with other larger ISPs after negotions.
