Nasir Qureshi Cc: ISPAK; Salman Ansari Subject: RE: ISPAK: Peering Policy Jamal , I agree with you on all points but would like to add a couple of points . a) Private Peering arrangements can be of different nature and thus sometimes static routing gives additional control . We should not argue on this point and make the policy flexible enough to accomodate most situations . b) Peering and Media PTCL must allow the use of Non-Exchange pairs for local exchange peering ; this will make the peering more meshed , economical and not to mention provide an alternative to PTCL DXX . Additonally , the policy should be clear on use of private media .
