(Crossed Fingers) Cogent's network seems "OK", for now. I've received several responses asking for details on how I would avoid Cogent. It looks like getting a connection to the AT&T network will allow us to serve our customers on their DSLS and use their direct peering to the Time Warner network for our customers with cable Internet. If anyone has any ideas on how this will work, please let me know. For instance, do most networks prefer to keep packets on their network until closest to the end point or might a network just send the traffic through cogent in another part of their network a few hops away? -----Original Message----- From: Mike Fedyk Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 2:59 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: RE: Cogent Router dropping packets I spoke too soon: Host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1. adsl-63-194-XXX-XXX.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net 0.0% 109 9.2 19.2 8.4 57.9 11.0 2. dist3-vlan60.irvnca.sbcglobal.net 0.9% 109 8.4 16.7 8.3 45.6 9.6 3. bb1-p6-7.emhril.ameritech.net 0.0% 109 8.6 36.3 8.5 256.6 44.2 4. ex2-p14-0.eqlaca.sbcglobal.net 0.0% 109 10.3 39.4 9.3 209.3 46.2 5. te8-1.mpd01.lax05.atlas.cogentco.com 0.0% 108 32.4 34.3 9.3 238.6 45.1 6. vl3491.ccr02.lax01.atlas.cogentco.com 3.7% 108 17.0 23.4 12.9 98.9 13.4 7. te3-4.ccr01.lax04.atlas.cogentco.com 17.6% 108 39.1 28.8 16.4 198.9 22.1 8. vl3805.na21.b002695-2.lax04.atlas.cogentco.com 12.0% 108 34.1 27.6 17.0 68.7 11.2 9.
