Even granting the questionable base assumption that the sector fully implodes: Cheap(er) energy across all industries versus one industry segment collapsing is a win for the industrialists.

I came to share a similar experience running the numbers for a tier 1 IP carrier customer service desk. Per call mixed FIFO/LIFO also gives you a good feel for how technical situations are progressing, and still depletes the older queu

Sadly, the desire to understand the 'real truth' requires significant time spent taking in data. Anyone who can promise meaning from a single point of view is lying. Notes rock. I agree with 1, 2, 3, and 4. I like tasks and remi

The statement that all ISP's over-sell is oversimplified. All ISPs statistically multiplex the bandwidth requirements for off-net connectivity. Over-selling a peering relationship is impossible, as the ISP is selling only a speed-rate

Traceroutes from a single source are poor tools for positively determining a source of latency. A traceroute only tells a unidirectional story, and an incomplete one at that. In reality in is essential to use multiple provider/observe

Prior to capitulation, Netflix purchased access to Verizon through multiple tier 1 providers. These providers are publicly known to have private arrangements regarding interconnections. More than one of the backbone providers in question h

You make big claims about what other people perceive. This is a straw-man. Clearly it makes /you/ rage, but I suspect it is because it threatens you with cognitive dissidence. I've experienced this with other MSO engineers.

Money is fungible. Costs to service providers /must/ be passed to those paying bills. There is no logical difference between costs to content providers and direct charges to customers. The argument provided is an illustration to

Level3 and Cogent both bill the majority (by traffic volume) of their network consumers by utilization. This means that these congested pipes are actually costing potential revenue. Obviously Cogent would be willing to cut off their own no

Free buys transit, and that transit is full. All the time. The article is talking about settlement free peering. There are significant differences between Free running their uplinks hot and a peering partners running their interconnects

Comcast already enjoys a physical government granted monopoly of the 'cable' access rights to their customers.

Free just doesn't buy enough transit; they are not a tier 1 provider.

I can assure you that L3 and Cogent are not seeing the marketplace shrink. 10k quarterly files from each discuss their growths and vulnerabilities. Historically, eyeball networks have paid for transit from backbone providers. As market co

It's crazy to think that Rancid, MRTG, & RRD are all fundamentally underpinning of all of these major carriers.

Cogent's CEO has already offered to pay outright for the port costs and data-center cross-connects for any upgrades. The point is to prove that the infrastructure cost of the interconnect are not the issue.

MSO revenue is threatened by alternate entertainment content, and is terrified of becoming a dumb pipe with no add-on fees. The issue is that Comcast wants to both connect to the internet for free & get paid by both the viewer and the

Level-3 is actually going around to their peers and trying to create systems to measure the bit-miles traversed on traffic sent to other tier-1 peers; the carriers will then pay for out-of-sync ratios

Now, fill the house with renters paying 10% of the purchase price per year. Mortgage property to 75%, recouping capital at a fixed interest rate. Re-invest capital into index ETF. Opportunities are what you make of them.

I would like to note, however, that there are very large number of REAL situations where the best route for an EU-EU bound packet is via the US. Depending on the providers in question, the specifics of their interconnects, and the explicits
