RE: COVID-19 vs. our Networks

[Steve Mikulasik via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Noticing a few major ISPs not peering with other major networks at their local IXs, instead taking cross country trips. 
I am sure this isn't helping congestion right now and I have heard from some people it is really affecting their remote 
users. People in the same city with 80ms-100ms latencies. Some companies with restrictive policies should review their 
peering policies and start really utilizing IXs for some quick capacity.

Maybe afterwards regulators can look at peering policies and how it affects their nation.
