That's because Cogent has chosen to not give us the BGP communities
Actually, in my case I dont think it would help because 577 has some sort of paid agreement with teleglobe and probably a very cheap (or even zero $$$) agreement with Cogent. So I dont think they would let me influence their exit path to make them pay Teleglobe more money :) But yes, community tickery can be quite helpful, but it wont always do the trick. ---Mike

Since AS577 keeps coming up in this discussion. They certainly could have adjusted their routing during this event if they felt their customers/business were being negatively impacted. If it didn't meet that threshold, who are we to judge what is good for their customers/business?? The Internet is not something you can provide total quality assurance on while many organizations have various definitions for words like "total", "quality", and "assurance". Deepak

Hi, I am not judging them at all. Its all from my perspective--- me me me me!!! :) I am just trying to do the best for my customers and make a decent ROI for the business with the resources I have-- just like they are. From Bell's perspective, getting to relatively small networks like mine dont even register on their radar. I am just trying to do the best I can within the constraints of how routing works, and the tools I have available to me. ---Mike
