Today Telstra appear to have distinguished themselves. Our initiative to BGP peer with them was rejected in accordance with a policy of "not peering with anyone but a carrier".
This is _not_ Telstra's peering policy, and was the unfortunate result of some trans-tasman confusion.
Telstra is currently peering with everybody else at the APE, a trend which I imagine we will see continue as other providers continue to join.
I'd like to clarify this. Telstra will peer with people at the APE and in other locations as a series of bilateral agreements. Agreement will not necessarily be automatic just because someone connects to a paricular exchange point. So don't presume that if you connect to the APE we'll peer with you - you'll need to ask us and we'll need to believe that it's in our interests to do so. And if you want to ask, I'm the person to ask. andy --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
