That is also why in a good peering relationship, it is completely irrelevant which way the traffic flows. The same goes for peering ratios, which don't mean a thing. <br /><br />The telco's are incorrect in assuming someone is dumping traffic. Outside a DOS-attack/virus activity it is impossible for someone to dump unwanted traffic on your network. If they have no valid reason to be contacting IP's in your network, they won't. And even if initial contact was made and it is unwanted or unreciprocated, it stops a normal network from sending anymore data.Rudolf van der Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977561124307072281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789470970518089735.post-53800682124132082122010-04-12T16:11:15.913+02:002010-04-12T16:11:15.913+02:00The historical basis for the asymmetry between eye...The historical basis for the asymmetry between eyeball customers and content provider customers is that, in the telco world, if somebody dumps more traffic onto your network than you dump onto theirs, they owe you money and not vice-versa. As eyeball customers pull more traffic (via WWW and P2P) than they push, and content providers are the reverse, it's the eyeballs that have the upper hand in peering negotiations.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789470970518089735.post-5521225751606877322010-04-12T15:34:49.114+02:002010-04-12T15:34:49.114+02:00The FT 'story' (how that newspaper has gon...The FT 'story' (how that newspaper has gone downhill in the last decade) is a rehash of quotes from early February and mid-March mainly: http://chrismarsden.blogspot.com/2010/03/telefonica-and-d-telekom-aggressively.html<br />Fear and loathing are now rife in Brussels - and as the FCC is tied in legal knots, and net neutrality action is now here, expect the incumbents to become even worse in the coming months....chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894132626803555691noreply@blogger.com
