this is really quite simple, Cogent was trying to use AOL as their tier 1 provider, sending most of there outbound traffic to AOL. If this wasn't the case why do you think there was so much trouble when the peering was shut down??? Money talks, BS walks.
That's a dramatic oversimplification, there was so much trouble because AOL hosts a lot of major websites (like CNN), and when the peering links were shut down, all of the traffic destined for the AOL network had to be routed through other links, and the capacity wasn't there on those other links, which caused problems with accessing the sites that would otherwise go through those links.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5782448 Sun, 26 Jan 2003 00:14:40 EDT Re: whats the problem? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5774835 anony23 : this is really quite simple, Cogent was trying to use AOL as their tier 1 provider, sending most of there outbound traffic to AOL.
