Ask Mr. Google or Mrs. Archives.
Hints:
* Traffic is often asymmetric. If I browse Web pages, I receive
far more traffic than I send.
* Routing... hot potato or cold potato?
* Ramifications of requiring (or not) consistent adverts at
different locations.
It boils down to attempting to make the peering "equally
beneficial" to both parties. I don't necessarily agree with (nor
inherently object to) the reasoning, but that's the idea.
I suspect that this was discussed last June during the 174/3561
incident.
Keep in mind that the peering mindset is: "I'll buy transit if
I can't peer. I'll peer if I can't sell transit. I'll sell
transit if I can."
