Some sites on the Internet hosted by Cogent Networks have been unreachable from Panix since Wednesday morning, due to a spat between Cogent and our provider, Level3 Networks, who are no longer passing traffic between their networks.
not clear what you mean by ’strange’? the level3-cogent scrap has been noted and watched on NANOG for a few weeks now. are you asking about NAP routing in the absence of peering?
I’m speaking from a user’s POV - it seems strange that I wouldn’t be able to reach certain websites because two providers are acting like 50 Cent vs. Ja Rule. Is there a precedent for this?
