er.. hate to rain on your parade but if I peer with everyone
i need/want to exchange traffic with, i am transit-free, even
if I -NEVER- touch any other part of the commercial Internet...
my packets get to where they need to go and all packets I want
get to me. my life is good ... even if I only appear as vestigal
to the commercial Internet, if I appear at all.
how would you classify such a network? T1, T2, ODDBALL-0,
non-Internet-265, ???
