Re: interconnection costs

Thanks James, I totally missed that section. Sorry about that. I think the picture is becoming more clear in my head now. Let me first make sure my terminology is right. - With respect to peering, there are "transit" in which you pay the other AS in 95-5 fashion or whatever, and

Broadband Router Comparisons

All: Not all consumer grade customer premises equipment is created equally. But end customers sure think it is. I have retirement aged customers buying the crappiest routers and then blaming my cable network for all their connection woes. The real problem is that there were plenty of

Re: Broadband Router Comparisons

Have the customer bypass the router. Why suggest another router that may have problems in the future that you ended up getting blamed for? Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 9:49 PM, Lorell Hathcock

Re: Broadband Router Comparisons

For a place to find reviews about specific models, I'd just point them to the product pages on Amazon and emphasize the ratings and narrative descriptions. Maybe not the most "scientific" method, but as long as the reviews posted align with your observations/assessment of a particular model,

Re: Broadband Router Comparisons

Josh: That's a good troubleshooting technique when the customer is cooperative and technically competent. I am looking for a third party list to which I may point that rates all/most routers on the market. This list would not have my input on it at all. If a router from the list winds up

Re: interconnection costs

Aren't availability, guaranteed service and remote hands an incentive to do peering inside a third party colocation? I see very large numbers for xconnects for instance in Equnix [ https://blog.equinix.com/2013/08/equinix-cross-connects-hit-11/] and it made me believe buying xconnect is still

Re: interconnection costs

Hi, The counter example is the Netnod Stockholm IX that allows you to connect via dark fiber from anywhere within Stockholm. The other large european exchanges also offer multiple connection options. "Aren't availability, guaranteed service and remote hands an incentive to do peering inside a

Re: interconnection costs

Hi Reza, There is some terminology and view point confusion... First of all, it is Network(s) which connect with Other Networks using AS #, not AS's which connect with each other. (In a particular view (Routing) it could be said that AS's connect with each other). Second, A connection

Hi Reza - When researching the costs of peering you should perhaps categorize into the most popular forms of peering. Public (many-to-many) peering solutions vs. private (one-to-one) -- There are of course many

Re: Broadband Router Comparisons

Smallnetbuilder.com has quite a few models of routers tested, which is decent. I've bugged them about ipv6 testing before but not too much progress there. Powerconsumption is not listed either, which can be as expensive as the router itself at 21 cents per kWh. Regards, Seth
