looks like the Level3/Verizon Los Angeles interconnect is congested :/
so, sending traffic that way probably won't help
intreesting.
is arp advertising routes to level 3 yet?
doesn't appear so
(from Level3 looking glass)
I wonder if someone has a list of Netflix transit providers
well, I guess Level3 does
I wonder if NTT is on that list
yes
they are
I wonder what kind of rate Netflix pays Level3 for $/mbit of transit
i wonder what kind of board/vp position verizon offers fcc staffers
typically it goes the other way around
private industry ->>> FCC Appointee position
FCC chairman was a lobbyist for cable industry for years
that's been the case w/a number of them too
dont you think thats a bit wrong
i think the FCC's mandate doesn't have anything to do with deciding how networks handle traffic
but that doesn't stop them from doing it
it sure is, but i'm also not an idealist, so i don't really feel great singling out one corrupt part of a pretty horribly corrupt machine
