Isn't it just more of the same, or am I brainnumb today?
What's changed is the introduction of "bit miles" as a means of calculating equality, where traffic ratios might previously have been used. Explained further, as pointed out on-list earlier: http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7021703819 http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7021703818 What will be interesting is whether new peering adjacencies crop up as a result of the new policy (I can think of several "smaller" global networks which now qualify, as it's written), or if this is just posturing on Level 3's part. The next few months will be interesting for sure... ---------------------------------------------------- I do recall the bit-miles conversations, but didn't tie that into this. doh! Thanks for the links. That kind of detail is what I should've been looking for and it explains everything. scott
