Hello,

I just had a discussion with our legal advisor whether it is necessary or
not to sign a peering contract with every (little) peering partner.

I know that a lot of the big ones require these contracts and I don't have
a problem with that, my opinion just is that a contract with a peer who
announces one /19 is not really necessary.

Another question is if there has ever been any lawsuit about peering...

Wolfgang
