IANAL, but that doesn't smell right. Seems sort of... anti-
competitive...
I guess if one is trying to meet the traffic ratio, one could
reroute certain traffic through an intermediary. Maybe some
nets tried this, met the minimum/geo/ratio requirements, and
there just _had_ to be another way to depeer?
Or maybe they want to peer with ASNs who don't purchase transit?
Perhaps they want the ability to quickly *coughpsilastsummer*
depeer *coughexoduspeersrecently* anyone as they please?
(Can't think of anything more serious at the moment.)
I guess people must vote with wallet and local-pref?
I've joked that we'll peer with anyone who hooks me up with a
hot, geeky gal. Now I begin to wonder just how kooky that idea
is. ;-)

"Hey, what are all these packets with

in the header?!" ;-)
Just wait until IPv6 when people forge source packets with octets
that spell obscene messages when interpretted as ASCII. Or even
as EBCDIC if 5|<r1pt |<1dd135 get interested in history. ;-)
