ColoCrossing Buffalo TORIX Peering

jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran
edited February 2016 in Providers

We've partnered with one of our transit providers in Buffalo to peer with the major ISPs in Canada on TORIX. As of today the ColoCrossing Buffalo network now has TORIX connectivity to the following residential ISPs:

Rogers
Cogeco
Videotron
TekkSavvy
Shaw

We're also peered with OVH through Torix as well.

This results in very low latency for Canadian traffic, example:

traceroute to 24.226.5.221 (24.226.5.221), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 10.8.6.89 (10.8.6.89) 0.848 ms 1.371 ms 1.335 ms
2 10.8.17.209 (10.8.17.209) 0.604 ms 0.668 ms 0.642 ms
3 10.8.43.1 (10.8.43.1) 0.198 ms 0.172 ms 0.159 ms
4 10.8.25.141 (10.8.25.141) 58.812 ms 10.8.25.197 0.221 ms 10.8.25.141 58.726 ms
5 78.152.61.30 (78.152.61.30) 0.642 ms 78.152.57.86 (78.152.57.86) 0.587 ms 0.706 ms
6 eth3-1.edge1.tor1.ca.as5580.net (78.152.45.219) 9.311 ms 13.639 ms 9.268 ms
7 cogeco.ip4.torontointernetxchange.net (206.108.34.27) 4.332 ms 4.308 ms 3.448 ms
8 129-6-226-24.rev.cgocable.net (24.226.6.129) 6.520 ms 6.477 ms 6.448 ms

We've got more exciting network related stuff on the horizon too! :)

    I feel like this is more of a post to try and hype people up about buffalo. As well as to try and get people to lose the stigma that buffalo's network is shit.

    OVH?

    Their "multi-homed" network will clearly do wonders for you.

    Also, have you tried peering with Bell?

  • FredQcFredQc Member

    No peering with Telus ?! -_-

    How dare you speak out against Buffalo. BANNED!

    I mean, that's a decent reason for the thread though right? The network isn't near the crap that it used to be IMO.

    Crap plus sugar still tastes, smells, and feels like crap.

    I want to see the day ColoCrossing is at LINX and has peering with ISPs over here :)

    Hi Mun

  • MunMun Member

    Hi @sysadmin, how are you today?

  • agoldenbergagoldenberg Member, Host Rep

    Looks like all Cable providers so Teksavvy would only be 50% covered by this as they resell both Rogers (Cable) and Bell (DSL / Fibre) Good news anyways! I'm on Rogers :D

    FlamesRunner said: Also, have you tried peering with Bell?

    Bell is very difficult to work with. We've tried but without any luck. :(

    FredQc said: No peering with Telus ?! -_-

    Good question, I am going to inquire on Telus.

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    That's definitely pretty good, but we're not peered with Cloud at Cost, so the traffic goes over Telia.

    @jbiloh said:

    Is it peering or just Atrato/Hibernia transit? I'm getting the same old routes via Shaw through Chicago.

  • MunMun Member

    From what I have tested in all different locations is that peering is still routing to buffalo through either telia or xo. I don't see any other peers taking data to them.

    Well lol, isn't teksavvy renting space off of bell?

  • linuxthefishlinuxthefish Member

    From the UK 60ms to Ramnode NY over GTT and 80ms to Buffalo over Hibernia :(

    mikeyur said: Is it peering or just Atrato/Hibernia transit

    Its just Hibernia transit, they are not connected to Torix any more than they are on any other IXP.

    Teksavvy uses Bell/Rogers or Telus/Shaw for last mile, but run their own public network.

    @mikeyur said:

    Oh, I was told that they had direct connectivity with them, like transit? Anyway, just found their ASN (5645); thanks for clarifying.

    They may? But I'm fairly certain that it's not primary. On the west coast they don't use any Shaw/Telus transit - AS20375

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    I've gotten word back regarding Telus and Bell:

    With regards to Bell and Telus, they have very explicit no-peering-in-Canada policies and our attempts to interconnect in Toronto have been rejected.

    Doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon.

    PM me a trace route lets see what that route looks like over Telia instead.

    Very nice add.

    Sounds about right. The monopoly in this country is fucking outrageous and carriers love to restrict access to better connectivity. In fact I would host all my shit right here in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. Only problem is Rogers owns all the DCs here and they are nowhere near an affordable provider.

  • MunMun Member

    @sysadmin nice!
