I have a question on public peering agreements. I have seen some providers using them while others are not. What is the general opinion on peering agreements? Are most peering agreements used mainly for private peering? Also, what are the pros and cons and what kind of protection should I expect from such an agreement?
Since, as far as I know, there is no direct legal precedent I would suggest it would be wise to at least have a "no warranty expressed or implied, use at your own risk, may be terminated at any time without notice" contract. Some companies may want to get fancier. Without any contract you're ripe pickings for a long court case only to see a judge "make new law", IMHO. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request () tmbg org, www.tmbg.org
