Comment Comment by jesprenj Why are packets not routed via peers (customers of cogent) that also peer with HE, or at least peer indirectly with HE?My home ISP certainly can route packets to both HE and Cogent:root@tranzistor:~# ping cogentco.com PING cogentco.com(cogentco.com (2001:550:1::cc01)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from cogentco.com (2001:550:1::cc01): icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=21.1 ms ^C --- cogentco.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0msrtt min/avg/max/mdev = 21.107/21.107/21.107/0.000 ms root@tranzistor:~# ping he.net PING he.net(he.net (2001:470:0:503::2)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from he.net (2001:470:0:503::2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=164 ms ^C --- he.net ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 164.454/164.454/164.454/0.000 ms root@tranzistor:~#Why are packets from cogent to HE not routed via my ISP? parent jesprenj 3 years ago
My home ISP certainly can route packets to both HE and Cogent:
root@tranzistor:~# ping cogentco.com PING cogentco.com(cogentco.com (2001:550:1::cc01)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from cogentco.com (2001:550:1::cc01): icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=21.1 ms ^C --- cogentco.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0msrtt min/avg/max/mdev = 21.107/21.107/21.107/0.000 ms root@tranzistor:~# ping he.net PING he.net(he.net (2001:470:0:503::2)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from he.net (2001:470:0:503::2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=164 ms ^C --- he.net ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 164.454/164.454/164.454/0.000 ms root@tranzistor:~#
Why are packets from cogent to HE not routed via my ISP?
