When I last spoke to them, it sounded like they were using a bunch of LAG groups based on ip address because they _really_ wanted to know how many ip addresses we had and what kind of traffic we would be expecting (eyeball networks, big data transport, etc).

The sales rep was suggesting to me that I’d see specific source/destination IP pairs capped at 2gbps regardless of circuit speed, which suggested to me it was not actually a point to point wave but some type of encapsulated service. We didn’t get into whether it was usable for non-IP, etc. From: NANOG <nanog-bounces+dhubbard=dino.hostasaurus....@nanog.org> on behalf of Mike Hammett <na...@ics-il.net> Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at 1:38 PM To: "nanog@nanog.org" <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Cogent Layer 2 Are any legitimate beefs with Cogent limited to their IP policies, BGP session charges, and peering disputes? Meaning, would using them for layer 2 be reasonable? ----- Mike Hammett [ Intelligent Computing Solutions ]( http://www.ics-il.com/ ) [ ]( https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL )[ ]( https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb )[ ]( https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions )[ ]( https://twitter.com/ICSIL ) [ Midwest Internet Exchange ]( http://www.midwest-ix.com/ ) [ ]( https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix )[ ]( https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange )[ ]( https://twitter.com/mdwestix ) [ The Brothers WISP ]( http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/ ) [ ]( https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp )[ ]( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg )
