This isn't something I really care to make a big argument of, but my point
was that for many ISPs, the path will go from:
SELF - EXODUS
to:
SELF - OTHER BACKBONE - C&W
for a net increase in average path length. That is, of course, a gross
generalization. And not anything I'm trying to make a big point of.
