Ok, as I understand it, Level3 can get Cogent connectivity back simply be restoring the peering that they suspended, right?
First off, that's not my quote. ;-) Second, it would appear routes are once again beng exchanged between Level(3) and Cogent. BGP routing table entry for 209.244.0.0/14, version 103309841 Paths: (1 available, best #1, table Default-IP-Routing-Table) Not advertised to any peer 174 3356, (aggregated by 3356 4.68.0.12) 66.28.1.1 from 66.28.1.1 (66.28.1.1) Origin IGP, metric 1000, localpref 100, valid, external, atomic-aggregate, best Community: 174:21000 16631:1000
From an outside view, it seems like Level(3) caved in to customer demand, but what the true outcome is, nobody will know [publically].
