So we are splitting hairs with what "peering" means? And I am sure Netflix (or any other content / network / CDN provider) would be more than happy to statically route to you? Doubtful.

How are other networks suppose to take you seriously if you don't have an ASN? -Mike On Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 8:51 PM, Brett Glass <na...@brettglass.com> wrote: > Netflix's arrangement isn't "peeering."
