Slightly old news, but it looks like Cogent depeered ESnet last week:

Current traceroutes indicate that ESnet is reaching Cogent via 6939_1299.
In other news, automatically dropping interconnects at around the time of your HQ's close of business while your peering co-ordinator is on vacation seems to be the new gold standard.

I suppose the moral of the story is: "never single-home to Cogent"
Anybody got draft language for a SLA clause that requires routing 'at least one hop _past_ the provider's network edge' for every AS visible at major public peering points and/or LookingGlass sites? <*EVIL* grin>
