<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Ok, so this is enlightening. What is the point of placing non-peering data into a peeringDataBase? Is this because peering involves more than just an abstract layer3 (BGP) policy constraint? Peering, as used historically as "meet-me" space to cross connect and the policy is the cross-connect contract? If so, then some of us (well me) have been too narrowly focused on the L3/BGP point.</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">But this "layer violation" has lead to a flurry of emails. And for me, it has been enlightening. So Sorry to make some of you winch at how long it took me to see this other facet. Are there others?</font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 20, 2015 at 2:51 PM, Chris Caputo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:secretary@peeringdb.com" target="_blank">secretary@peeringdb.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

As written, ASNs are not the basis of membership criteria. PeeringDB<br>
serves more than networks/ASNs. As written, colocation facilities and<br>
IXPs are also able to be members. Any organization with an active (ie.,<br>
not banned) PeeringDB record, is able to be a member.<br>
<br>
If folks want to make ASNs be the basis of membership criteria, then in<br>
doing so they would be disenfranchising many existing users of PeeringDB.<br>
