If you cannot accurately model every aspect of interdomain routing - why i=
s that? :)
Then how can you be sure that a single stock in this model can be so influe=
ntial? "significant" I think one could almost argue the opposite also or ma=
ke the same case about nearly any feature in a transit product! If i stop o=
ffering community based filtering- I'd probably see revenue decline!
Yes some features in a product set drive revenue - thats all you are really=
saying which is fine but we have alot of features people want in the netwo=
rk and what would be a more useful paper would be why this one might drive =
more revenue growth than the others that are all fighting development prior=
itisation - - - which isnt clear to me in your paper.
All this paper does is confuse (mislead?) people that SBGP might have a big=
pot of gold attached which is doubtful in my view (interdomain routing is =
very complex) and the point Randy made.
