I'm 95 percent sure that every dns response is bigger than the request, so it might not help much. Although if they're getting a lot of garbage in it might be helpful.

It depends on what methodology is used to classify traffic as inbound/outbound. The large DNS response in your example counts as outbound packets, but it's part of an inbound TCP connection. I don't know how peering agreements work.

Interesting.
I would have thought that they would go with the simplest measure possible, bytes in vs bytes out.
