Subject to ratio requirements. Go have a look at peeringdb - there is a field for "Ratio Requirement" and it is common for that field to be "Yes"

- jrockway 7y agoYeah, but these consumer ISPs self-inflicted the ratio imbalance. They literally don't let their customers upload at the same speed they download at; of course their peering ratios are going to be imbalanced. I checked several of the largest ASNs and several smaller NYC-area ISPs on peeringdb and they are all "No" to the ratio requirement. Google doesn't care. Amazon doesn't care. Cloudflare doesn't care. There's half the Internet. Demanding money to peer with Netflix is just trying to charge customers twice because they can. It's not normal, conventional, or good for the Internet. Netflix might be able to pay, but will your startup be able to pay? Probably not. And that's not the future we want.
