If you cannot accurately model every aspect of interdomain routing - why is that? :) Then how can you be sure that a single stock in this model can be so influential? "significant" I think one could almost argue the opposite also or make the same case about nearly any feature in a transit product! If i stop offering community based filtering- I'd probably see revenue decline! Yes some features in a product set drive revenue - thats all you are really saying which is fine but we have alot of features people want in the network and what would be a more useful paper would be why this one might drive more revenue growth than the others that are all fighting development prioritisation - - - which isnt clear to me in your paper. All this paper does is confuse (mislead?) people that SBGP might have a big pot of gold attached which is doubtful in my view (interdomain routing is very complex) and the point Randy made. Neil
