I remember back in December when AOL dropped Cogents peering around the 16th of December. I forgot how long it lasted before everything was back to normal.

I think it lasted 3 weeks to a month with result in very bad latency for aol users trying to access servers on the Cogent network. (Maybe not be able to access them at all)

Anyone remember extactly how long it lasted or have logs of it?

Thanks

Nobody remember? I was wondering is Cogent is still going through Abovenet or Level 3 to AOL. Do they have direct peering to AOL yet?
