valley free routing?

Fri Mar 7 16:18:28 UTC 2014

Having been employed by a provider V in one such example of the below, I viewed it as a temporary, partial transit relationship.  Does such a situation meet Bill's original definition?

once upon a time, provider A and provider P were having a peering war, and provider V provided valley transit for P's prefixes to A.  it was not meant to be seen publicly, but the traceroutes were posted to nanog, or maybe it was com-priv at the time.

this is far from the only time this has happened.
