This is relatively common in europe too - normally under the name 'partial transit'. paid peering: [provider AS] + [providers customers] partial transit: [provider AS] + [providers customers] + [providers peers] Pricing is typically 5-20% of the cost of full routes, and will provide in the region of 40-120k routes.
