do we have anymore info on the why of this question. i asked a guy here at
UUNET france, and he was as perplexed as i was, and sees absolutely no
reason why any1 would want to do that. also one thing he told me is that
UUNET USA is getting stricter on their peering policy, meaning that they
would only like to peer with big isps from whom they gain by peering with.
this means that less and less peering is gonna take place unless ur a big
ISP. that being said, id really like to know the logic behind the question
orginally posted, but then again im starting to repeat myself.
