They could have rerouted traffic instead of blackholing all of Level3.
And what message would that send? Did you expect Cogent to jsut take it in
the chin, and accept the fate LEvel3 dictated?
I disagree.
Level3 could have bandwidth limited Cogent, instead of depeering Cogent.
Cogent did what they had to do. The message was loud and clear, and
successful. That Cogent would not accept being bullied.

The Level3 depeer was caused by Level3, not Cogent. It has the same

Whoever caused it; Cogent is the one that made it painful for the entire
internet. They could have rerouted traffic instead of blackholing all of
Level3. The fact that they offered free transit to Level3 customers only
shows their intent to send a message to Level3 et al.
