So if this went through, how would it happen? Does 3356 (L3) absorb 209's (CL) infrastructure and slowly make customers change their peering config to hit 3356 instead?
You make a good point, I have at least a couple clients that peer to both providers for redundancy. One of which just recently signed an agreement with CenturyLink for the sole purpose of fail over. -----Original Message----- Re: CenturyLink in Advanced Talks to Merge With Level 3 Communications - Interweb is doomed From: Jima <na...@jima.us> To: <nanog@nanog.org> >> On 10/27/2016 12:36, Nevin Gonsalves via NANOG wrote: >>> :-) >>> http://www.wsj.com/articles/centurylink-in-advanced-talks-to-merge-with-level-3-communications-1477589011 This is great! Except for all of their mutual customers who had circuits from both for redundancy. (See also: Level 3's and TWTC's mutual customers, and probably a long list of other M&A I'm not thinking of off-hand.) OK, I lied about it being great anyway.
