I think for very samll providers were cost pretty much governs everything, it is quite handy. I know of a small provider who takes/took a 1G pipe to such a remote connectivity provider, the pipe is split with VLANs and over one VLAN they have a remote peering session to a IXP, over another VLAN they receive a blended transit service and over another VLAN L2 connectivity to other PoP the remote peering provider is also. It is several eggs in one basket but for very small providers this can provide a much needed money saving opportunity. Cheers, James.
