RE: OpenTransit (france telecom) depeers cogent

As a cogent customer, I still see no routes to 217.167.0.0/16 (the route that holds www.francetelecom.com) via my cogent feed.

That /16 also appears to be unreachable from the looking glass on cogent's website still.

I can trace from Cogent to FT just fine.

Haven't checked all possible end points, but my spot check shows connectivity.

Replying to my own post, I still see some Cogent <-> FT strangeness.

Tracing to www.opentransit.net works fine, but www.fracetelecom.com dies on the first hop.

Spot checking other IPs in FT, they seem to work. Is it just the 'fracetelecom.com' sub-network that is still not connected?

Anyone have any more info?

They are alive!

host_name("217.167.29.246","www.francetelecom.com").

No ping, no traceroute, but I get their homepage.

host_name("84.167.240.52","p54A7F034.dip.t-dialin.net").

That is me.

217.0.67.105 (217.0.67.105) 9.237 ms 9.128 ms 9.335 ms
da-ea1.DA.DE.net.DTAG.DE (62.153.179.54) 8.362 ms 8.445 ms 9.784 ms

That is my way out.

In europe there seem to be no problems. I have not seen anything in forums
here.

"If you meet the criteria defined above, please send your formal peering

I guess they have another mailbox in "qa."
