We've had them direct for transit in LA for about a year. And a year before that in Denver. Never had any issues aside from some missing BGP when New York was under water. Great for US domestic traffic. Not very good for international traffic. On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 1:57 PM, Tri Tran wrote: >

We have several 100Mb Cogent DIA lines in various places, NYC, Boston, Portland OR, and it works fine. It isn't the highest quality, but it works well enough for any office/small hosting needs. On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 12:57 PM, Tri Tran wrote: > They're lit in the bulding and have a much faster

We've had them since May 2008. Recently upgraded from 100Mb to 250Mb. Had minor issues here and there (no outages to speak of). I've had some IPv6 issues since moving the link to dual-stack a few months back, but we are not deploying IPv6 to end-users yet, so I'll let them slide on that. On 10/

Cogent is great if you treat them as a path. I wouldn't use Cogent in place of single homing a service provider though due to how they run their network and the subsequent peering disputes that arise. Don't get me wrong, I like Cogent, they definitely have a good use case, just be cognizant of how

If you want to block spam on IPv6, then you can start by rejecting connections to SMTP from any IPv6 that do not have a PTR. No need to analyze the format of the PTR. It is in several recommendations that a sending email IP must have a PTR. That ISPs will not do a PTR on all IPv6 but only on st

That gets to the core of the original question. I figured there must be a reason for the conscious omission. However, I've noticed also that Comcast hasn't bothered to give PTR to their routers, either. I think that's a horse of a different color. Leaving out PTR on the last hop for the residen
