They shouldn't be connected to the internet at all! They should be shot in the foot for having such poor routing :) NZ > US > NZ :) But yes, they would need a circuit to one of the two telco's (assuming the telco's maintain peering between themselves). -----Original Message----- From: jfp [mailto:jfp(a)clearfield.com] Sent: Tuesday, 15 June 2004 11:52 a.m. To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: RE: [nznog] TelstraClear Inhternational / National Traffic billing
So instead of going for example with a Telecom Customer.
ISP->Clear (Across APE)->Clear->Clear Customer It will go
ISP->Telecom National->Clear (their Peering with Telecom) ->Clear ISP->Customer.
What about the case where an ISP has no local links to either Telco's? They are just connected at APE and WIX and have a connection to an international provider. In this scenario they would now have to pay for a link to both Telco's, which is of course what the Telco's want. jfp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jean-Francois Pirus <jfp(a)clearfield.com> Clearfield Software Ltd Phone (+64-9) 358 2081 4th Floor 8-10 Whitaker Place Fax (+64-9) 358 2083 P O Box 2348 Auckland, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
