Internet transit consists of two bundled services: the advertisement by an Internet service provider (ISP) of routes to a customer's Internet Protocol addresses to the other ISPs who constitute the rest of the Internet, thereby soliciting inbound traffic from them on behalf of the customer; and the advertisement of a default route, or a full set of routes to all of the destinations on the Internet, to the ISP's customer, thereby soliciting outbound traffic from them.
