What do you mean with "cutthroat"?
- mananaysiempre 2y agoI mean stuff like “we agreed on settlement-free peering at a time when you were sending me about as much as I you, but now you’re sending me 20% more / your traffic is small enough I figure I can pressure you / etc. so the deal’s off, you pay me now.” That’s what I’ve heard, anyway—I’m sure there are people maintaining actual tier-1 networks lurking around here.
- immibis 2y agoTier-1 networks have very clear requirements for settlement-free peering, and only do it with other tier 1 networks. This is about tier 2.
