None of this has ANYTHING to do with what the customer has purchased - which is TRANSIT TO THE ENTIRE INTERNET. Not just the parts that someone else will pay that same provider to communicate with.
CustA - NetA <-> NetB - CustB. Both customer are _buying_ for transit for the whole source-destination path, but are _paying_ only for (in this case) half of it. Customers share the costs, because providing service to each other is considered beneficial. Therefore networks A and B peer if traffic is roughly equal or exchange traffic with settlement fees if not. -- tuomas.toivonen () fishpool fi fishpool creations ltd http://www.kasvua.org/~toivotuo/ http://www.fishpool.fi/
