Re: Public Works Peering
A consortium of companies using this NAP would engineer the network since most times government officials have little clue on the engineering side of things, nor would they understand it more than those already in the industry. Having read this thread, I'm going to assume most of the engineers who want to peer there, are no more qualified than said government officials. This NAP would be unbiased as to "my bgp tables are bigger than yours" arguments, and would pass traffic unbiased to most destinations without flaw. the time of MLPA has long since passed, let it rest in peace.

Re: Cogent/Level 3 depeering
Then start your search for a replacement provider. If every Cogent and Level3 customer did this today, this problem would be solved by the end of the week, guaranteed. I tend to think this is oversimplification. The big picture risk, cogent will be judged now by their actions, lest they run the risk of being de-peered by others. A few low yield, short term customers crying about rebates, could in comparison be quite insignificant. jc -- James

Ok, I'll state the obvious first BGP is a routing protocol, the economics of its implementation bears no resemblance to implied or otherwise connectivity. This comes down to a little more than just "depeering" -- at least in the BGP sense. There's active route filtering going on as well if connectivity is dead; after all, I can bet the house that at least one of Cogent's network edge peers has connectivity to Level3, and vice versa. That would assume that cogent is paying someone to transit their routes to L3. Which I can deduce is not the case. What nature of clause? I consider deliberately filtering prefixes or origin ASs to be a violation of common backbone BGP use. I'm not familiar with the concept of a 'common backbone BGP use policy".

Belarus ISP contact
Hi, Excuse the strange post, but I'd like to contact anyone working for a Ukrainian and more importantly Belarussian ISP's, alternatively if you know of someone please email me. я хочу связываться человек работа в интернет-поставщике в Белоруссии или Украине, извините моего плохого русского ;-) Thanks, James
RE: AP IX locations
|Given the enormous scope of the question, the US west coast almost |sounds like an effective common denominator *regardless* of the |state of interconnection within the region, or the history of |US-centric traffic demand and under-sea cable routes. PAIX alone can supply 10-15k of AP routes, coupled with AP routes from ABOV and others, that would be most it. No matter where you are located in AP, its going to be a long and difficult build to get a similar level of routes from within the region. Now if you coming from Europe it would make even less sense. -- James

RE: Global view increase (was:BGP route explosion)
Around 15mins ago an additional ~5,000 routes entered the global view, sadly they appear to be hanging around. Last Tuesday had an increase of 2,000 routes. +7000 routes in a week is significant de-aggregation or leak, any ideas on where these routes are flowing ? I've not seen an increase on any of our peers, so I can only assume its coming from a network who doesn't peer particularly "openly". -- James
