Let me turn that on its head… I don’t think anyone’s eyeballs are special. I don’t think anyone’s content is special. I think everyone should get free peering with any network whose customers expect to be able to reach that other network’s customers. Ignoring for a moment the idea of maximizing

Hi Glen, If you first list the causes of a dropped packet, then you can figure out how likely they are at different points in time (first\last\peer\etc) by making some assumptions. Here's an **example**: *Cause | Location | Likelihood* Congestion | Last mile | Low Congestion | First mile | Low C
