Hi Joel, I'll state that the settlement fees involved in common peering arrangements (peering as defined in my post) are irrational, couched in the language of fairness but based entirely on what the participants believe they can get away with. I have taken that into consideration with the structures I'll propose for procedural aggregation. Are you aware of any other specific divergence between the financial structure I described and the reality on the ground? What is it? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
