Many ISPs around Australia (all?) have peering arrangements with other ISPs (or, rather, groups of ISPs). Traffic between peers does not count towards my download limit. And I'm guessing they are faster, too, due to less busy links between peers.
My ISP is peopleTelecom. Given a host name (or an IP address), can I tell if it is a peer with my home IP address? PT say who they peer with, see http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/isp.cfm/People-Telecom/129.html, PIPE, WAIX and AUSIX, but the connection to a particular host name (or IP address) is quite tenuous, as each of these peers have multiple member ISPs who each have multiple customers, many with their own domain names. It all boils down to this: when I look down a list of mirror sites, is it possible for me to tell which ones are peers, which ones are cheapest to access? -- Regards Peter Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /\/\* http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/ PGP public key ID: 1024D/D0EDB64D fingerprint = AD0A C5DF C426 4F03 5D53 2BDB 18D8 A4E2 D0ED B64D See http://www.keyserver.net or any PGP keyserver for public key.
