All of Cogeco's eggs in few baskets?

Hi,

I have noticed via traceroutes that Cogeco's network seems to take US-destined routes (that aren't routed via a TorIX-connected network) via two providers: Cogent or Bell.

I find this rather alarming as it essentially leaves Cogeco's network up to be at the mercy of either Bell or Cogent. For a network as large as Cogeco, I'd urge Cogeco to peer with more networks that can carry US traffic.

Taking a few non-TorIX well known websites for instance:

Bell route taken

It's rare for Cogeco traffic that is en-route to the US that isn't over a TorIX network to take a route that doesn't involve either Cogent or Bell. This is hazardous and therefore my opinion that Cogeco should investigate getting more direct peering.

Reason I'm saying this is that as a business client of Cogeco, My organization operates several services that are contingent on communicating with US associates/associate systems in real-time on a 24/7 basis and notice overnight often times that traffic will get dropped. When I traceroute, it seems many times the drops are over Cogent's or Bell's network. I'm sure that home users would also benefit from having their traffic taking other routes as well as it'd mean less blips or "Cannot connect to server" pages.

This whole situation has resulted in my organization setting up a VPS operated in a Hurricane Electric network (HE is a TorIX-connected provider), giving my organization the option to bypass Cogeco's usual routing and route via another network at our discretion. During our testing, we noticed that we can achieve increased stability over just taking the Cogeco routes.

In closing: I hope this is taken to heart and Cogeco adopts a more diverse group of upstreams/peers.

i believe cogeco had access to edaptivity/cygnal several years ago, before shaw bought out mountain cable... at the time, it was a high-speed tier-2 connection. i don't think that peering exists anymore.

I'm one of the associates that peer more or less directly with DigitalXeron, and frankly, I have to agree.

Cogeco's peering is shitty at best. Aren't they large enough as is to be considered a Tier1 ISP? :/

Also - why only two peering? Doesn't that leave them wide open to widespread issues if Cogent or Bell has issues?

I know the answer is yes, but as to the why, that's what I'm wondering. Wouldn't it be better for them to not rely as much on Cogent and Bell, given their repeated issues vis-a-vis US-Canada peering?

SONET ring is redundant. If the route is deemed "down" it will route around it. wikipedia sonet.

You have nothing to worry about. Also, traceroute output is a terrible way to get a view of the network.

While I am aware that SONET is highly reliable, it is not fool proof. For instance, if you don't have a lot of diversity on a SONET ring and only say have 2 nodes on that ring, if one of the nodes fail (instead of the paths), then that whole ring is technically down.

It primarily concerns me that there may be a lack of diversity on those rings or that there may be a failure within Bell or Cogent's networks (outside of the inter-provider SONET, and Cogeco's network won't see that path as "down" and therefore won't find an alternate path.

I think the SONET rings may be over-saturated with Bell/Cogent nodes, without any other providers being on those rings ("Well, if this Bell node is down, we'll try another Bell node").

As a complete worst case scenario, Cogeco Ontario has a direct peer in Cogeco Quebec which has separate routes out so...I'm sure if somehow both BELL and Cogent went down, then...they'd route out there...they wouldn't let 120k customers out in the lurch...while it may not be ideal from your standpoint, that's who they've decided to peer with and I'm pretty sure that won't be changing anytime soon, they obviously get a decent enough price from these providers....

There is quite a few more transit/peers than 2. Just cause the op didn't see them doesn't mean they aren't there

Cogeco has 4 transit providers that I am aware of. In addition to Bell and Cogent they also use Peer1 and Tinet. The routes cherrypicked in the original post all happen to go through Bell or Cogent but there are many other routes that go out through Peer1 or Tinet.

According to HE's BGP tool info page for Cogeco (AS7992) Tinet and Peer1 handle the majority of the inbound routes. Cogent and Bell are in a distant 3rd and 4th, respectively. See »bgp.he.net/AS7992#_asinfo

I personally have never had a problem with Cogeco's routing.
