| Let me get this right ..
AOL is complaining that its receiving 3 times more traffic from Cogent than Cogent is receiving from AOL?
TIMEOUT.. lets do the math here:
What creates this traffic? Who? What direction is it going in? From Cogent to AOL? If so, who's customers are creating the traffic? Umm... AOL's? So who's really to blame for the traffic.
DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Correct me if I'm mistaken. |

| I believe what they mean is that Cogent is sending three times as much traffic that is originated from it's customers (the customers being the requestors of traffic), so that as far as actual traffic, there's more bandwidth being used going from AOL to Cogent. |

Doesnt seem likely, to be honest.
HOwever, AOL does have the "bring your own access" plan, where you use another ISP but then only pay AOL for CONTENT. HOw much of that traffic is generated from AOL CONTENT customers that are on other ISPs?
I guess AOL wants to have their cake(AOL Content customers) and EAT it(have peers pay) too. Amazing nerve. And you wonder why folks don't like AOL .. Miscrients leading morons. |
