Re: Chinese bgp metering story

I can read tea leaves with the best of them, and the tea leaves I

The report seemed a reasonably accurate account of what went on in  
Kampala.


But what is all this about is the ITU interested in changing BGP?  
If the word metering makes any sense in context, BGP doesn't meter  
anything.


The Chinese delegation presented a dozen pages of formulae involving  
20+ variables, infinite sums, and other mathematical goodies.  Wowing  
the audience I guess.  The whole way through using BGP was mentioned  
- in the sense of pulling data from, and adding data to BGP for the  
purposes of evaluating these formulae.  It was clear that BGP would be  
used - and modified if need be - to achieve this.  Mixing billing with  
the reachability information signalled through BGP just doesn't seem  
like a good idea.


Interesting to note was that nowhere was the intent of all this  
mentioned, which is presumably to calculate the value each and every  
party's traffic traversing a link generates, and to apportion costs  
accordingly.


Misguided, nonsensical, and unworkable ideas often gain traction.   
It's important that this one doesn't.


Cheers,
Jonny.
