hi All, We have with some enthusiasm looked forward to the practical action re peering, and are really pleased that Clear and IHUG and very soon Telecom are going to be peering with us. No doubt this means that those of you on the above list are peering with each other too as well as other smaller parties. 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". (- David Venables) This seems antithetical to the overall objective of an "exchange" ? In the interests of network efficiency do you think that Homo Australias could at least be persuaded to exchange with the route reflector?? I presume that in the end the win-win scenario of the exchange makes "evolutionary sense" :-)) Robert Hunt --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

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
