Netflix became Level3s problem with Comcast because of unbalanced level of traffic flowing from L3 to comcast. There is a simple solution to unbalanced Peering that Netflix could implement – just setup their clients to upload dummy garbage data at 70% max uplink speed whenever their client software is running. All of a sudden traffic will go both ways and they will be able to peer as an equal party. This alone proves Peering agreements based on traffic amounts are a joke. Streaming service that generates one way traffic is simply 'too nice' to comcast. Flood those asshats with /dev/random.
