As noted earlier, ARIN has suspended service for all Cogent-registered IP address blocks - this is being done as a discrete IP block access list applied to relevant ARIN Whois services, so the routing of the blocks are immaterial - a customer using a suballocation of Cogent space could be affected but customers with their own IP blocks blocks that are simply being routed by Cogent are not affected.
