Source Brown/RenesysHave you seen this one ? :-D ... No? Then, you should go to the newest NANOG movies! It's interresting and somehow a bit funny!
As you might already guessed, the Renesys guys addressed some de-peering cases esp. the latest one between Sprint and (as usual) Cogent. But I won't tamper with that issue. Just a minor thing : they used the term DFZ (Default-Free Zone) replacing the usual "Tier-1" term. I'm not sure whether they indeed introduced that term or maybe they just used it because somebody previously has introduced that ?! somebody knows?
The DFZ according to Renesys:
- AS174 Cogent
- AS209 Qwest
- AS293* Energy Sciences Network
- AS701 Verizon
- AS1239 Sprint
- AS1299 Telia
- AS2828 XO
- AS2914 NTT
- AS3356 Level 3
- AS3549 Global Crossing
- AS6453 Teleglobe
- AS6461 Abovenet
- AS7018 AT&T

It has been pointed out that DFZ was really not the most appropriate term for that context. A more accurate term would be TFZ, or transit-free zone, which is what the Renesys guys are using instead now.
