Yes, you are right! It doesn't even have to be specifically two tiers,
there can be many. At an IX, everyone is free to peer with whoever they
want to. So you find that small providers will peer with each other, big
providers will peer with each other, but you will find that big
providers will more than likely not peer with small providers (as the
latter tend to be customers of the former). Content providers at IXes
will usually peer with everyone, as this means they have most direct
access to as many end-users connected via IX members.

Wow, crazy. :-( Yes, we have to find a way to avoid this.

Agreed.
