Hey all,
In early October our traffic levels from NetFlix went from about half Level3 and half Cogent - pretty well balanced - to all on Level3. Standard multihomed BGP setup with minimal TE if I can help it. I am starting to run into problems with a full gigabit port on Level3 and only 100-200mbps on Cogent at that
