That doesn't make a lot of sense Ed. Transit traffic is that which is
addresses outside your AS. This means everyone using BGP with more than one
AS generates transit traffic. Transit traffic then cannot be 'sub-optimal'.
If an ISP had a geographically dispersed network, they would have to move
traffic within their own network via transit traffic unless they used one AS
for all locations. Doing this over public or leased lines would probably
not be a good idea.
