PSI statement from their website Cable & Wireless chose to terminate connectivity with PSINet on 2June01. Over 90% of the traffic that used to be routed through C&W is now being routed via other means through our robust global free peering infrastructure. The remaining 10% or so represents C&W customers that have been deliberately cut off from PSINet by C&W. While PSINet is ready and willing to re-establish connectivity with C&W at any time, it is up to C&W to choose to reverse their previous decision. In the meantime, PSINet can offer services directly to those C&W customers that are affected. http://www.psi.net/cgi-bin/netstatus.pl5 Does the 10% number mean C&W's network reach has shrunk, or that a growing number of networks are multihomed?

Good for CW. Companies shouldnt cut off peering with others and not think that one day it might just happen to them. o well... what comes around goes around law of the harvest what you do comes back to you 10 x ... etc... My best guess this will start happening to CW... :) Christian
Sean, 10% may be high. It's only about 2700 routes from what I can see. - Daniel Golding
