I have been working a ticket with Qwest regarding our upstream through
them in Portland. I was informed by a Qwest engineer that, as a
result of their merger with US West, they are under an FCC mandate not
to traffic data directly through AS3908. This AS serves the NW and
the Denver area according to this engineer.
THE CAVEAT as related by the engineer is as follows: our
advertisements should, technically, be propagated out to the
Internet...however, all traffic would first hit Qwest's network, then
go through the Cable & Wireless network, then back through Qwest to
us...in other words, even if our routes *were* being propagated
properly, we would probably have to do some kind of prepending or
other preferencing to get traffic flowing in Qwest's direction and
even then it would certainly not be an optimal path through the network.
Has anyone experienced this problem with AS3908 & Qwest?
We killed our "Not-Qwest" transit because of *10 latency last friday.
Anyone had any good experience with "Not-Qwest" in the pacific north-west?
