We have the same picture there. If we have 1000 kilimoters back-bone, we include the cost of this back-bone into our prices, and sell 64K for (for example) 100bokazoids. If small ISP crinix opens free-of-chsarge peering with us, he must not include the cost of back-bone into their prices, and they sell 64K for 50 bokazoids. This mean we can't allow free-of-charge peering with them.

Zero-settlement peerings open to anyone are demonstrably amount to subsidies from large peers to small. That already was beaten to death. However, i repeat the argument: Big Provider Customer A ---[POP] ------------- 1000 miles -----------[POP] | IXP | Customer B ------[POP]-1 mile-[POP] Small Provider When customers A and B talk Big Provider pays to get them through 1000 miles. Small Provider pays for 1 mile. Note that i didn't even talk about less measurabe, but way too more important things like hosting of information suppliers. Say, Big Provider connects 1000 web sites; Small Provider hosts 1 site -- benefit from peering in terms of Web site diversity to the Big Provider's customers is 0.1%. To Small Provider's customers the benefit of peering is 99.9%. Zero-settlements work only when peers are of comparable size. Any attempt to extort pressure to force it upon anyone simply causes large folks to flee. --vadim
