We already have more than 8,000 ASN-pair relationships documented, and we hope to receive as many more as possible. <b class="">We'd like to finish collecting data by the end of September, about two weeks from now.</b></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">If you’re peering with an MLPA route-server, you’re welcome to include just the route-server’s ASN, if that’s easiest, rather than trying to include each of the peer ASNs on the other side of the route-server. Either way is fine.</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">If all of your sessions have the same characteristics, you can just tell us what those characteristics are once, your own ASN once, and give us a simple list of your peer ASNs.</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">If your number of peers is small enough to be pasted or typed into an email, rather than attached as a file, and that’s simpler, just go ahead and do that.</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">If you have written peering agreements that are covered by non-disclosure agreements, or if your organizational policy precludes disclosing your peers, but you’d still like to participate in the survey, please let us know, and we’ll work with whatever information you’re able to give us and try to ensure that your practices are statistically represented in our results.</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">If you're able to help us, please email me the data in whatever form you can.
