Long story short, Level 3 won't pay us for peering agreements so it's their fault.
- techwizrd 12y agoThe most incredible part is that the facts and anecdotes presented so far don't agree with Verizon's tale, so instead of Verizon decided to respond with a fluffy PR piece instead of fixing the problem or countering with facts. Verizon seems completely unwilling to take any blame in this and does not seem to have their customer's best interest at heart. There are no new facts in this article other than a useless infographic and repeated claims that Netflix is saturating their link with content Verizon customers are asking for.
- yaur 12y agoThe only new fact I see here is that link between L3 and Verizon is not symmetric. That's not surprising really, but it means that there is already traffic asymmetry baked into whatever peering agreement they have today.
- fryguy 12y agoIt seems like Netflix is the one providing value to the Verizon network so it should be the other way around. It would be like someone saying "I'm not downloading these files from a webserver because they're not paying me to download it."
