Nigel, InterNAP likes to make a lot of noise on an old concept. Other
companies such as SAVVIS already used this concept, although InterNAP says
that they measure the delays, reliability and maybe a few other things in
order to change their BGP/routing policy.
They definetly have an interesting offering, but on my humble opinion, it
fits very well for Content Providers.
It might be worth to mention that since they don't own the backbone, they
cannot offer SLAs for maximum delay, packet loss or availability on the
backbone. So, if you're a company thinking about deploying an Intra-company
VPN solution (e.g. a replacement for frame relay circuits), I would look for
another ISP that can offer the SLAs described above.

Subject: Easing Internet backbone traffic..thoughts..!
Hi All,
http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20000926S0089
I was reading this article over at EE Times and was wondering if you folks
had any thoughts on what this means or how it applies to the already
existant/non-existant BGP routing policies between the Major players(digex,
UUNet, MCI etc....) Howard, I'm really interesting in yuor thoughts on if
this could be a solution to the Internet routing problem seeing the current
inexperience and knowledge of BGP in the use of the protocol.
Nigel
