Hi Joel,

Barring a specific example, I respectfully disagree. Service providers
often use BGP communities to give transit customers nuanced control
over their routing, however those are still simple transit business
relationships. If you pay someone for access to networks who aren't
paying him, it's a transit link, however nuanced your actual use may
be.

Likewise, peering can be partial (typically regional) or full but
either way it functions as a peering relationship, nothing else.

No problem, Google is an old friend. My understanding is that such
valleys are a result of misconfiguration, not an intentional part of
the system. Nor does the desired function of the system depend on
their presence. Do you disagree?
