North American Network Operators Group Date Prev | Date Next | Date Index | Thread Index | Author Index | Historical RE: OpenTransit (france telecom) depeers cogent
from FT: FT terminated its direct interconnection with Cogent as they did not comply with 2 of the criterias of the FT Peering Policy. This Policy is official and published. However, route exchanges between Cogent and FT customer remained possible through IP transit provider networks such as Sprint for FT. As a matter of retaliation, Cogent "blackholed" all FT IP addresses, cutting the routes between their customers and FT's ones. This unitaleral measure is a breach of the rules agreed upon among the IP community. FT cannot be held responsible vis a vis its customers for the negative consequences of an action taken under the sole responsibility of Cogent. Regards, Jonas
