hi stephan you have always a possibility to fix this - you can buy transit in form of a paid peering with those networks who are customer-critical and be badly peered on your existing upstreams. (be careful: no full transit - just peering only - with full transit you import a lot of this problems in your network)
political it´s a bad solution because you support carrier who don't care about good quality and needed peerings in your region. the better version would be to kick out such carriers from the market... but it will improve your own network, so that you can beat all other guys who still stuck in problems with those other carriers. bernd -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Stephan Wolf [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 05.

I have multiple ISP's @home (yess...), and also in all datacenters. bu see customer side: - they can choose, too - but they don't care - they choose by price - or because basis link is already there effectively: - imagine you offer a partners service in sitzerland - and the access is slow for customers - effectively cablecom customers - reason is cablecom ('s peering policy) - but they don't care so effectively technical this is not my problem here. it is a problem from customers chosen ISP but again: tell this (just a guess) 1.5 milllion cablecom internet customers no chance ;) the only solution: - most cablecom customers must be unhappy and cancel contract - then they may change peering policy but effectively they will cancel "the other side". because they don't care. cheers, stephan ps: got no feedback by upc at all _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list [email protected] http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
