Re: Peering needs to change

said by peeringisdead :

Sprint is a little man with a big ego. They are no longer a real Internet player and only carry a relatively small amount of the Internet traffic.
The facts tend to show Sprint has a massive customer base worldwide and is reasonably well peered.

That may be true, but the peering is legacy and customer base has been changing over the past few years. Many of these customers are very small or use Sprint for very little data (ask around).

ASN metrics are tricky and not sure they are a complete measurement of an entity proportion of "Internet" volume. e.g 20 ASNs with 200G of data vs 1000 ASNs with a combined total of 160G of data. Which is bigger?

network neutrality

This is sprint trying to create a tiered internet.

They think their traffic is of higher quality then Cogent, so they block Cogent.

All this does is force providers to move away from both companies.

Actually Sprint has large customers that move massive amounts of data, like Coke and Raytheon.
