Fast EU Peering
May 13, 2009on a .eu hosting company with good routing/peering around europe. I have customers all over europe but still wanna save money and centralize to one hosting company.
I am looking for a gigabit uplink but nessesarily i dont need flatrate traffic since we only hit peaks a few times a day..
What are your thoughts on companies providing this kind of service at a fair price?
Internap / More Peering Better
Jan 26, 2008My colo is charging about $80/Mbit, they use InterNAP. Is that reasonable? This is in west coast/california.
That brings me to my other question, how do you know whats a good network? How is hurricane electric compared to InterNAP?
fixedorbit.com shows HE on the top 10 list and shows a lot of peering. I don't see InterNAP on that list at all! Does that mean thats it not as good?
The more peering, the better? (I guess we assume that the network provider isn't over selling and isn't cramming a lot of customers into a single port etc...)
Business Of Peering
Jan 14, 2007How does peering work from the business angle? Say company X has bought a Gb port at an exchange, and wants to peer with other folks peering there. What are the folks typically going to expect from X before they'll peer with it? What are the
characteristics of X that would make folks willing/unwilling to peer? I've no idea what the relative importance of things would becontent (desirable, undesirable) WAN Network. (Does one have to have one?) technical cluefulnessBrand Qualities of the potential peer. It's hard to figure out the realpolitik of it all just by understanding the tech (BGP, etc.) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering .
Comcast Peering In California
Jul 14, 2009Are there any co-location companies in California (preferably northern) that have a peering agreement directly with Comcast?
Not sure if it's peering or transit I should be asking about. Basically I'm trying to get the best path I can afford to Comcast customers in California.
SwitzerLand Local Peering
Dec 3, 2008I have a client who needs a very special configuration. We are trying to find a data center or server provider in Switzerland who can only broadcast there ip in Switzerland only. So any attack or anyone trying to access that ip outside Switzerland will not get even close to it...

May 24, 2008I find it very interesting that the major ISPs in and around Portland Oregon apparently do not peer with anyone in the region. For low latency you're better off choosing a provider in Seattle or San Jose as traffic always seems to be routed there and back anyways.
Why is this? Is it simply not worth their effort to setup the peering connections because most traffic will be hosted outside the region anyways?
