That is something that has always confused me about ratio based
peering disputes.
Surely it is the responsibility of the content-sucking network to
build and engineer to meet the demands of *their* customers (and
build the cost of doing that into the pricing model). It appears to
me that the content heavy networks are going above and beyond to work
around the broken model that the content-suckers have.
What am I missing?
