Flow ratio balance will fall apart for whoever has the shortest route to Netflix, so it is certainly a very interesting problem. Verizon has demonstrated that it isn't interested in fixing the problem though (by refusing Netflix cache devices). So even if Level 3 were to somehow balance the traffic, you can be sure that Verizon would still screw with Netflix traffic - they're simply using the balance argument as an excuse.
