said by flycuban :I guess each "Region" has there own peering sites, because here in Florida most if not all the traffic goes thru at&t.. Hardly none of the traffic goes on the Comcast national backbone... Indeed. However, isn't Florida one of the regions Comcast picked up from Road Runner? Perhaps Comcast hasn't, yet, built out their backbone in the Southeastern U.S.? One Global Crossing (Tier 1 backbone provider) hop between ATTIS (my provider's backbone) and Comcast's 'ibone' network. One Level 3 (Tier 1 backbone provider) hop between ATTIS (my provider's backbone) and Comcast's 'ibone' network.
All connections to West Coast destinations are made right here in San José, California. Seven Level 3 (Tier 1 backbone) hops between ATTIS in San José, California and the Comcast 'ibone' network in Chicago, Illinois.
I would guess that Comcast just has to put in their 'ibone' in the Southeast, based on trace routes to '.hsd1.ga.comcast.net' and '.hsd1.fl.comcast.net' from the West Coast.
