Ok, can someone tell me if I've fully understood this thread on peering agreements?

  ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
  BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

Um, I mean ... s/ANIMALS/PROVIDERS

In either case, I believe (in a Darwinian sense) that some behaviours are
good survival tactics, some are not. "equality" is seldom mentioned
in the stuff I read as a survival tactic.

My guess is (and since it is a pretty big stretch to call me an ISP--I
do play one in local theater, it only a guess) that the better survival
tactic (better than worrying about "transit" and "peering") would involve
concepts like "providing services will pay money for at a rate larger
than I have to pay for them".
