Network to network peering is a different story - but you won't find DSL or cable providers running DSL lines from their peering routers to end users. All that has to happen is for the end user to start pumping a ton of traffic into the peering router with the source IP number of, say, www.fbi.gov and a destination IP of, say www.whitehouse.gov and all kinds if interesting and unpleasant things will start happening to the operators of that cable or DSL provider once the feds finish tracking them down. Think about it. Ted
