where's the "lot of cost"?Stephen J. Wilcox This is private vs public..Even if it's private, and assuming that you're clever enough not to peer for a modem's worth of traffic, the cost is a no-brainer, IMHO. Someone checks my math please: At $20 per megabit for transit (which I find very low, but let's go for it anyway) a GE link for peering with an average use of 10% means $24000 per year saved; pays for the xconnect.
If you have a gig of traffic to peer out to a single AS, you need quite a bit of infrastructure to support the peering and that infrastructure does not come cheap. Alex
