I'll assume that, by "sending peer," you mean the content network. If so, I
disagree. The content network has no control whatsoever over the location of
the eyeball customer. The eyeball customer has sole control over his or her
own location, while the content network has sole control over the location from
which they reply to requests.
Therefore, control is shared between the two sides. And both are incentivized
to minimize costs. If both minimize their costs, overall costs are minimized.
That's why this system works.
