Cogent Peering

2007-05-14 Thread Kevin Billings
Can someone tell me if there are any tools on the net we can use to
evaluate Cogent as a possible Tier 1 peer.  We are looking at adding a 1
or 2 Gig connection to them, but after reading some of the posting I am
not sure this would be a wise move.

IP Database

Title: IP Database






I am looking for an IP database for our Company that can be used from a service provider needs and also from an Enterprise that will need to track IP's down to the host level. Also need to have RWhois integration for ARIN swip's.   Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendation? I have looked at two.  ipplan which is a free open source and TCAM/ECAM by Parabola IP Solutions.  Has anyone used either of these two system and what did you think of them.


Thanks

Has anyone had any experience using Network Mitigation devices like the
Cisco Guard XT 5650? I am looking to install one in our network and would
like to know if anyone has used the Cisco device?
