Cogent and TATA de-peer in Asia
Just came across this.
Looks like Indian routes are the most affected ones.

First NTT, now TATA.

Why does Cogent constantly pick fights with other T1s? Is this just greed?
Greed combined with being a bully..
Diversity hiring got a primadonna right there at PR
Ouch, I can't imagine this is helping Cogent at all.
Tried pinging @LittleCreek (Single Home Cogent) from my Indian ISP, its unreachable.
m y i m no respond pings sorry
Which ISP?
hello,
it s possible yu respond my DM?
Regards
Local ISP, upstreamed by TATA and Airtel. I think most ISPs use that combination.
My SG VPS with Contabo (Cogent) has seen a huge impact actually. Apart from huge latency (+500ms from Spain) I have a lot of packet loss (I'm getting routed through HE now)
my i m pings r depereeding by cogen probelm, route r no work now sorry. we will fix asap have new tiire 1 coming soon 2gbps we make bgp. sorry plz and no refund updte soon
I think somebody is running out of $ to pay it's invoices...???
Cogent becomes T2 soon?
Going to become an island soon at this rate.

It wasn't already?
as it seems, we got hit by this too

true
I've been noticing a lot of "filled pipes" moving traffic through Cogent -> Arelion (Telia)
To be honest I think it's time we consider cogent a T2 like some people consider HE.
no
Regards
cogen still problem? i s possible offer prize match , dm
Cogent lays down everything on the table. Who’s bigger?
Noticing impact in other places too. My BuyVM Luxembourg was usually routed via Cogent to DE and came via Airtel to India. 160ms.
Now it's going via HE, 1299 and TATA to London, heavy packet loss and 300ms+ ping.
im want give yu dmca ignor and free speaks. that it s possible also petabytes of porn.
On the reddit post, this is 'parentally the email they sent out to customers, which implies that Cogent used the SAME template as the depeering with NTT. I thought this was a copypasta at first, but turns out it's not.
Oof.
Who consider HE to be a T2?
53667 depeer with 174 when?
(peer with 701 instead)
Those who consider a T1 being able to reach every other network on the internet without purchasing transit.
Its just hearsay still but..
Apparently its drama related to the upcoming RIPE meeting where arguments are made for and against taxing/pricing members based on subnet sizes.
Not surprising they have the whole process templated - it's a regular occurrence for them now.
I don't think so, given the history of peering in India and some other places in Asia.
That being said, Cogent is almost certainly not blameless, given how they offer bulk traffic between cogent peered locations, becoming an island is probably not something that is happening to them, but might be in the cards for some reason I am unable to figure out atm.
Very interesting
