OK, I give and admit my ignorance. What does "MLP" mean in this
context ?
A google search for "Australia mlp" reveals many hits for "My Little
Pony,"
which somehow I doubt is the intended meaning on this list.
A proper reference would be appreciated.

.. think about what happens when your customers' routes start
appearing
through your MLP session as well.
Standard practice would be to localpref customer routes over
peering routes.[...] The customer's inbound (standard billing
metric) won't be affected but their ratio might.
I'm really happy for you to sell me some transit as long as I can
peer with you over MLP as well. Small commit. I agree to give you
some of my prefixes over the paid session, but I'm going to put all
of my routes and my customer's routes on the MLP.
With any luck you wont notice, just be happy that you suddenly seem
to be selling more transit via your upstreams and also peering off
more data too.. :-)
