Yes, I've read it. They need to fix their <TITLE>.
So while Cogent was depeered by Sprint, we contacted the CEO of
Cogent on
Friday to try and arrange at least a temporary peering arrangement
so that
bits flowed between our networks while they battled this situation
out with
Sprint. Cogent's response? Buy transit from them.
I presume one of Sprint's dissatisfactions during the trial with
Cogent were
ratios. My network happens to have a very high ratio of eyeballs
(inbound
traffic) vs outbound traffic. One would believe that Cogent would
like to
offload their outbound traffic to networks other than their Tier-1
peers, to
at least give them an upper hand when negotiating peering
arrangements with
these networks.
It's funny how Cogent depeers networks whenever they want, but the
second
another network depeers them, they cry foul.
Aren't you in one of the "1300 on-net locations" with Cogent? Doesn't
that give you a free FE?
