[AusNOG] Pipe/Equinix Peering Costs

2 weeks ago we found TPG stopped sending traffic back to our AS via
Equinix Exchange and they preferred to send traffic through our PIPE IP
Transit connection. Fair enough, they want us to pay PIPE Transit for
traffic from TPG rather than give it to us for free.
So we withdrew our prefixes from Pipe Transit to do further testing -
TPG preferred to go through Optus->Vocus to reach us (we also use Vocus
for Transit) rather than direct across Equinix Exchange. So it seems
they have no interest in sending traffic back to us over Equinix
Exchange any more. Not a very open policy for peering if they are
selectively refusing to route traffic to Equinix Exchange participants.
One final gripe (unrelated to PIPE/TPG) - Google doesn't openly peer on
Equinix Exchange, but they do on PIPE IX.
