Hi! Dont mix up peering and transit connections!
That you dont see that route on a lookingglass doesnt mean much. Only Could tell you they dont transit there. Its all depending what you definiëren with available routes. If i peer with all ISP's in a specific area and your looking glass isnt licated there does that mean its bad? You need to know much more. If your customers are local there its even prefered. Its never that black/white ...its depending on your needs! Thanks, Raymond Dijkxhoorn, Prolocation Op 19 okt. 2011 om 08:46 heeft "Nathanael C.
