[AusNOG] Vocus peer with TPG

[Luke Iggleden]

Vocus is 'peered' traffic with TPG via WAIX (in WA). Its not up to Vocus 
to select best route path for TPG, they are presenting most of their 
routes to WA(ix)?

TPG should do the 'right' thing and peer at all IX-Australia peering 
points or with others bi-laterally if they want to improve latency & 
performance.

I believe its a commercial decision as to why they do not peer with 
anyone else other than via (their own) PIPE peering.
