FWIW, Hurricane Electric has an aggressively open peering policy and we
will peer with anyone who is willing to peer at any exchange where we =
are
connected. We believe as stated by Rucas that this only serves to =
enhance
the internet experience for our customers as well as our peers.
So far, it seems to be working pretty well for us. I encourage others to =
follow
our lead in this regard as it truly does make a more functional =
internet.
