said by hescominsoon:I have seen a bunch of folks condeming cogent for supposedly abusing peering. Does anyone have proof of this? Level 3's statement about an inbalance is far form factual since no metrics were provided. Keep this in mind before condeming either company. We don't know anything other than press releases which are dubious to form a informed opinion on. So far all we have is theories and speculations.
I have worked in 4 pops in the northeast that cogent has a presence in. The general traffic is usually 7 to 1 in these pops, they are not holding their own. They are abusing the agreements.
