Isn't it just more of the same, or am I brainnumb today?
"...each party bears a reasonably equal share of backbone burdens – taking into
account the amount of traffic carried by each party and the distance over which
that traffic is carried."
"One fundamental aspect of the new policy is a requirement that carriers adjust
routing practices and interconnection locations so that the distance and volume
of traffic carried by each party on their backbone network remains equitable."
"If one party to a settlement-free peering relationship is carrying far less
traffic over far less distances than the other party, the policy would require
changes to interconnection locations and routing to more equitably distribute
the burden of carrying traffic and thus preserve a fair settlement-free peering
relationship"
Hopefully, I am not accidentally trolling as has happened in the past... :-)
