Is Cogent filtering the prefixes they get from Verio? Or is Verio filtering what they send to Cogent? Does it matter?
I think you have a very good point - FT is buying full transit. Cogent is the one without full reachability.
Doesn't mean that FT didn't know this would be a problem when they took the step, though.
Cogent has offered to exchange traffic with OT in a manner that is cost-effective for both sides. OT said, "no, do it in a way that is more expensive for both of us". Which one is making a reasonable effort to exchange traffic with anyone else willing to make a similar effort? To me, that is the standard by which connectivity should be judged. DS
