er.. hate to rain on your parade but if I peer with everyone i need/want to exchange traffic with, i am transit-free, even if I -NEVER- touch any other part of the commercial Internet... my packets get to where they need to go and all packets I want get to me. my life is good ... even if I only appear as vestigal to the commercial Internet, if I appear at all.
Absolutely correct.
how would you classify such a network? T1, T2, ODDBALL-0,
non-Internet-265, ???
I doubt it is a tier. I am certain it is not an "Internet" network if it does not have connectivity to substantially all other Internet networks.
