In the middle of all of this talk re: Cogent and such, they apparantly spent some $$$ somewhere and made our test connection a whole lot better. In a nutshell, we did this a month ago and it stank. Bursty, high and variable latencies.. etc.. Apparently they fixed something. Yesterday in

I don't really think that a free peering session seems like a 'sales job' and I don't agree that the original use/protocol of the internet would be off topic. As for Satellite feeds... Show me a feed provider who's satellite pushes more than 45mb/s which is now only 60% of a full feed.

Using link congestion to control routing updates

2002-12-19 Thread David Scott Olverson
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to use the congestion of a network link to control the routing update. For example if I have a very small link that gets congested, I may want the router to withhold a routing update until link congestion falls below a certain

IIRC, and I may be wrong, either IS-IS or CLNS (can't remember which) can look at congestion, and EIGRP can look at load if you tweak the K parameters. -Ejay -Original Message- From: David Scott Olverson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL

Re: Using link congestion to control routing updates

Opposite problem -- he wants to delay routing updates if the link is full. EIGRP by default won't use more than 25/50% (I forget) of link bw, for instance, but I'm not aware of any intentional features in other IGPs to do this. If routing updates constitute enough traffic to disrupt your links,

I was poking around to see what was happening with Cogent and AOL and ran into some interesting info. The test that Cogent failed was a 2:1 ratio; Cogent was at 3:1 and AOL insisted they be at no more than 2:1 for free peering. AOL wants Cogent to pay for peering - the pricing I've heard is
