For those that are not aware, Level-3 vilolated its inplace agreements, and
blocked all peering connections from Cogent communications yesterday (October
5th), and rumor has it that they are also now blocking all Cogent assigned
IP ranges, so that routing diverse paths won't be effective. Not much I
can say about peering disputes, but blocking IPs without cause (meaning
violation of AUP) is crossing the line, and clearly anti-competitive and a
law sute soon to happen.
Level3 VOIP provider just lost our business over this one. Can't risk
using a provider that demonstrates such practices.
If using Level3 for servers, call to complain, because otherwise you are
going to have lots of unsatisfied customers that can't get to the servers that
reside on the Cogent network. Level 3 is doing the blocking. For those of you using Level3 and looking to become multi-homed, nows the
chance to save. Cogent is offering FREE one years transit service at
the same capacity as the level 3 connection.
