Re: Take a step back
Except for dial-up providers, and this would typicaly not apply to the larger such providers, *any* ISP, if at all possible, would multi-home (via, at worst, two second-tier bandwidth providers). I know of NO national dial-up ISPs (including Earthlink) that use single-peering. Apparently, for whatever reason, the expiration of Cogent's peering agreement with Level 3 would have seriously inconvenienced a major subset of customers (either Cogent's OR Level 3's) else the dispute would not be taking place. |
