Does anyone know who was dropped? I have been having strange connectivity problems between my network on the C&W network and my datacenter which is on GlobalCenter's net. No one can tell me what is going on, but maybe this has something to do with it. Jason Lewis http://www.packetnexus.com It's not secure "Because they told me it was secure". The people at the other end of the link know less about security than you do. And that's scary. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Simon Lockhart Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 3:03 PM To: David Diaz Cc: Charles Scott; nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: C&W Peering Problem?
I was wondering when this issue was going to be brought up. C&W dropped peering with several backbones. I will bet the problems started about a week ago.
Probably because they didn't meet the new C&W peering requirements. They sent me a link to their peering requirements the other week when I asked. Basically, to peer you have to have an OC48 backbone with redundantly connected nodes in 9 regions of the USA (according to their definition of regions), peering at 4 diverse locations, with a minimum of 45Mbit/s of traffic at each location. Interestingly, C&W's network map doesn't show PoP's in all of their 9 regions.
