This is something a few of our routing engineers have been joking a mom&pop
ISP could do.
They get a 10 or 45Mbit connection from big six provider A.
They get a 100Mbit connection at Nap B.
They default all of their traffic at Nap B to Provider A's router at Nap
B.
This way they get [theoretically] up to 145Mbits into provider A's
network and get the traffic back inside of provider A's network.
What are the various opinions on this behavior?
