Cogent and Level3 reach agreement

As part of today’s joint announcement, Level 3 and Cogent underscored their common view that the implementation of their modified peering agreement, effective immediately, serves the best interests of both companies’ customers. As a result of the agreement, Level 3 will not proceed with disconnection on November 9, as previously announced.

Cogent vs Level3

Cogent and Level3 are apparently having some disagreements and Level3 decided to block all communications between their network and Cogent’s and apparently Cogent has chosen not to use their transit to complete their reachability. More details can be found on Slashdot and WebHostingTalk.
