1. Neither Sprint nor Cogent have transit Both Sprint & Cogent are transit-free networks. (Notice how I carefully avoided saying "tier one"?)
How do you explain Cogent's arrangement with NTT (AS 2914)? If it's not transit, what is it?
So you are asking to have what was Cogent's arrangement with NTT? That's like asking what was AOL's relationship with Level(3) when they had their peering spat with Sprint. Just because a relationship existed in the past does not mean the same relationship exists today. Accept the fact that both providers are transit free and move forward.
Does Akamai have peering arrangements with Cogent directly?
Akamai are self declared peering sluts. So, yes, they have direct peering arrangements with Cogent. charles
