OK, I'm looking at this, and having a *little* trouble buying that there's exactly zero or one p2p links - consider the case where the last 'c2p' link is to provider A, who peers with B but not C, and B peers with both A and C, and the first p2c link lands at C. Don't you end up with "cp2 p2p p2p p2c" in that case? Or is there a convention saying we compress the A-B and B-C links into a notational A-C link? Or are we defining A-B or B-C links as being a c2p type instead, even though they're peering and not transit?
