I've heard many a small provider say they are "Peering" with level3 when they mean "we are buying transit from Level3". Many people equate having BGP up with them to mean something else.And yet I might pay for transit from Sprint, but decide to limit routes to just between us (which is peering, but technically I'm paying for transit). Terminology has always been a blast. Jack
actually, its pretty clear. peer - exchange routes with a neighbor (BGP/OSPF/ISIS/EGP/Static). transit - your neighbor agrees to send your routes to -their- neighbors. peering you can control, transit is controlled by a third party. so Jack, you could pay Sprint for transit (they propogte your routes elsewhere) and then insist on no-export for the routes you give them.. -IF- Sprint honours your no-export, then your just peering, regardless of what you are paying for. /bill
