Subject: Re: The IPv6 Travesty that is Cogent's refusal to peer Hurricane Electric - and how to solve it Date: Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 12:28:01PM +0000 Quoting Brandon Butterworth (brandon@rd.bbc.co.uk):
tier 1 seems consistent with Cogents refusal.
one does not become a tier 1 by refusing to peer. an actual tier 1 will of course most of the time refuse settlement-free interconnection with smaller actors to protect their revenue stream, but the traffic volumes and short settlement-free paths to large parts of the Internet are what make them a tier-1. do you hear me, medium-sized swedish isp full of clued people but with a serious case of peering reality distorsion? -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 Can you MAIL a BEAN CAKE?
