Sprint - Cogent depeering & ipv6

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Well folks, you probably either were affected by, or potentially noticed that there was a several day sever of the interconnections between Sprint & Cogent.  For those who didn’t know, this as usually has little or nothing to do with IPV6 but rather IPV4, the network that matters.

Sprint probably said that Cogent didn’t have enough traffic, or the ratios were skewed or some other criteria was amiss and alas (notice i got an “amiss” and an “alas” in a single sentence) Cogent didn’t qualify for settlement free peering with Sprint.  My experience is, of course that Cogent probably sends 4x what it received from Sprint and that was way beyond the traffic ratios, even if they were leniant (not sure how that word is spelled) Cogent still didn’t qualify and should cough up some dough for the difference or for an interconnect all together.

Now the problem seems solved, so we go on to a complete internet worldwide…
