ColoCrossing Buffalo TORIX Peering
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

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?
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.
No bell
I want to see the day ColoCrossing is at LINX and has peering with ISPs over here
Hi Mun
Hi @sysadmin, how are you today?
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
Bell is very difficult to work with. We've tried but without any luck.
Good question, I am going to inquire on Telus.
CloudAtCost -> Buffalo looking glass.

That's definitely pretty good, but we're not peered with Cloud at Cost, so the traffic goes over Telia.
Is it peering or just Atrato/Hibernia transit? I'm getting the same old routes via Shaw through Chicago.
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?
From the UK 60ms to Ramnode NY over GTT and 80ms to Buffalo over Hibernia
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.
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
I've gotten word back regarding Telus and Bell:
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.
Great, got some cardio in this morning.
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.
@sysadmin nice!
I should have included it in the initial post, but here is the full list of active peering sessions established on TORIX:
Videotron
MTS Allstream
Google
Rogers
TekSavvy
Hurricane Electric
Eastlink
OVH
IPTP
Akamai
CloudFlare
Init7
Peer1
Shaw
Cogeco
@jbiloh you mean for the toronto IX?
