Verizon: "Level 3's Selective Amnesia on Peering"
(Verizon): http://publicpolicy.verizon.com/blog/entry/level-3s-selective-amnesia-on-peering
"Last week, Level 3 decided to call attention to their congested links
into Verizon's network. Unlike other Content Delivery Networks (CDNs),
which pay for connections into ISP networks to ensure they have
adequate capacity to deliver the content they have been hired to
deliver, Level 3 insists on only using its existing settlement-free
peering links even though, as Level 3 surprisingly admits in their
blog, these links are experiencing significant congestion. Level 3's
solution? Rather than buy the capacity they need, Level 3 insists that
Verizon should add capacity to the existing peering link for
additional downstream traffic even though the traffic is already
wildly out of balance."
