@f2k1de @Lili keine Ahnung, aber soweit ich weiß machen die massives #TrafficShaping und #QoS weil #Telekom hat halt so schlechtes #Peering dass deren de-facto #Upstreams (#Cogent & #Level3) die verklagt hatten.

• Das #DTAG-Kernnetz ist abends so heftig verstopft dass vielerorts garnix geht!

@qwertyoruiop the fact that #DTAG has a testing server that fast is surprising.

Normally #DeutscheTelekom's core network is so #underpeered that they got sued by #Cogent & #Lumen nee. #Level3 for insufficient capacity and abusing them as #upstream|s.

In return, I'm surprised they only got #10G there. I would've already expected #100G and #OM5 fiber everywhere...

#DeutscheTerrorkom #38C3

Spent a full week trying to get answers from #Cogent about what #T5 is doing with power maintenance & setting up our dual feed power.
Me: Are you supplying the PDUs?
Them...
Them...
Them the day before: No. You are.
Me: YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!
Scramble scramble FOUND!
Me: You'll be there to hook it up.
Them: No. You're doing that.
Me: So i have authorization to lift the floor & energize our PDUs?
Them: Yes, but you dont need to, because you are on the line that isnt going down.
#sysadmin

That was special. Having to scramble to bring down a hundred virtual machines, then the hardware, right in the middle of restoring from backups. Thanks #Cogent, you lying, incompetent, fucking shitbags. Let me tell you the odds we renew our contract. Zero, and sub-zero. Did we save money on your Kmart pricing? Well, the old saying is true, there's nothing more expensive than a great deal. #sysadmin

#sysadmin weekend from hell.
Thanks #Cogent. Thanks for telling us the "testing" which "shouldn't affect our colo service" was actually a planned power outage that your operations people KNEW would bring down all hardware in our racks on a Friday evening.
Oh! And thanks again, for sending out an all clear on Friday night & again on Saturday, then Sunday, while in hour 30 of restoring our entire infrastructure, being told randomly by a contractor the power was going down AGAIN in 15 minutes.

Is it reprehensible to offer #Cogent Paid #Peering as a Non-Profit #network / #Freifunk AS

80 cents / Mbit/s with 10G Flat is fair, isn't it?

The #bigCorp media has been doing that for him for years. They usually dont play #tRump clips verbatim. they paraphrase him so that he sounds more reasonable.
They are cleaning up his speech.

That is why he can claim that, it his normal #projection and #confession .
It bothers him that it is not necessary for VP #Harris. She speaks in complete sentences and can make a #cogent argument. (Appealing to the intellect or powers of reasoning; convincing: synonym: valid.
"a cogent argument.")

#Cogent #spam

#Cogent had an outage in central and Southern California. Working for an #MSP, and with it being after hours, we have discussed the important things: client response, IP over Avian Carriers (RFC 1149), apocalypse scenarios, backup ISPs, resorting to cannibalism and whether or not we should wait before a formal declaration of an apocalypse, #IPv6 over Avian Carriers (RFC 6214), and— oh wait, it’s back up.

#sysadmin #iiitttttt

"Pssssst! Want some more #IPv4 addresses?
We got some nice long-term leases here."

That's pretty much the gist of an unsolicited email today from a very eager #Cogent #CogentCo sales rep.

A #rootserver at the #Internet’s core lost touch with its peers. We still don’t know why.
For 4 days, the c-root server maintained by #Cogent lost touch with its 12 peers.
This server, maintained by Internet carrier Cogent Communications, is one of the 13 root servers that provision the Internet’s root zone, which sits at the top of the hierarchical distributed database known as the domain name system, or #DNS.

I was poking about the root servers web pages a few days ago and this explains why I couldn't reach Cogent's C root server and why other root servers had a sudden spike in traffic.

Looks like #Cogent fixed C-root lag. At least from where I look at it:

Hé bah #pasbravo a #COGENT qui laisse ses DC tellement pourrir que de l'eau s'infiltre et fait tomber les équipements.
Ca fait depuis samedi midi (donc 3 bons jours révolus) que ça peut pas être relancés en sécu.

On dit quoi à ces gens qui s'en mettent plein les fouilles ?
