Private Exchange. It is a private exchange between SPRINT and Exodus.
I see. And is it your assertion that Exodus does not pay for this
peering, and that, moreover, the payment does not include transit
services?
One of the reasons I wonder, of course, is that it is pretty
apparent from traceroutes that Sprint is not routing towards
Exodus uniformly (see below, note different exits).
Now why would Sprint do that on a settlement-free basis?
I'm also curious about the assertion that you have no transit
at all. Not even from Worldcom, maybe?
I'm sure a public reassertion that there Exodus has NO
paid-for transit from ANYONE would be interesting to everyone.
Sean.

note Seattle versus San Jose.
Interestingly: vio.com SOA NS.CARAVAN.com hostmaster.NS.CARAVAN.com
NS.CARAVAN.COM seems to live behind bayarea.net, a BBN Planet customer.
