tier 1 seems consistent with Cogents refusal.
one does not become a tier 1 by refusing to peer. an actual tier 1 will of course most of the time refuse settlement-free interconnection with smaller actors to protect their revenue stream, but the traffic volumes and short settlement-free paths to large parts of the Internet are what make them a tier-1.
I disagree with this last part.
So do I, actually. I was just reporting what Tier-1 operators might feel be good for business. Not that I believe that they're right. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 On SECOND thought, maybe I'll heat up some BAKED BEANS and watch REGIS PHILBIN ...
