That's funny. One of the first networks to de-peer Cogent was Teleglobe. They re-peered after a bit. The next obvious question is: When Sprint, Telia & L3 de-peering Cogent, it causes a lot of news in the press & noise on NANOG, so why didn't you know Teleglobe depeered Cogent? Is this because Teleglobe runs a better network than Sprint? Well, that's hard to say, but please note that when Teleglobe depeered Cogent, they were disconnected just as Sprint & Cogent are disconnected now. Doesn't matter how 'good' a network you run, if packets won't go there, you can't get there. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out the rest. -- TTFN, patrick
