I believe that if you examine the UUNet requirements, it states:
First:
1.2
Traffic Exchange Ratio. The ratio of the
aggregate
amount of traffic exchanged between the
Requester and the
WorldCom Internet Network with which it
seeks to
interconnect shall be roughly balanced and
shall not exceed
1.5:1.
and second:
1.4
Traffic Volume. The aggregate amount of
traffic
exchanged in each direction over all
interconnection links
between the Requester and the WorldCom
Internet
Network with which it desires to
interconnect shall equal or
exceed 150 Mbps of traffic for
WorldCom-US, 30 Mbps
of traffic for WorldCom-Europe, and 5 Mbps
of traffic for
WorldCom-ASPAC
While it is theoretically possible that this could be achieved with no
customers (e.g. CNN, or Yahoo), I think it is highly unlikely that both
parts of the equation would hold up. What would a publisher possibly be
a receiver of that would equate to 100mbs in the US? And if they did,
why would they have local access points in 15 states?
Or am I missing something Sean?
