I'm really happy for you to sell me some transit as long as I can peer
with you over MLP as well. Small commit. I agree to give you some of
my prefixes over the paid session, but I'm going to put all of my
routes and my customer's routes on the MLP.
With any luck you wont notice, just be happy that you suddenly seem to
be selling more transit via your upstreams and also peering off more
data too.. :-)
