[AusNOG] BiLateral Peering Via MegaPort and/or NSW-IX

[Joseph Goldman]

Further to this, the more peers you add, the more routes your routers 
have to manage, and process, and filter, and activate based on best-path 
selection. It's unnecessary processing time when IX's like NSW-IX and 
Megaport IX strip their own AS, so at best you might be getting a higher 
local pref on the other side, but it'd likely still come in via the same 
path whether you set up the peering or not.
