[ppml] "Recommended Practices" procedure

[Peter Sherbin]

Maria,

Could you pls. elaborate on customers not wanting PI:
1. How many customers
2. By customer: average monthly traffic volume, mumber of links to peers/transit
providers, link sizes
3. Nature of the business
4. Geographical location

Thanks,

Peter
