Yeah CC's Buffalo location is a laughable routing mess.  Okay, I haven't checked things in a month or more there.

"we have Level3 in our mix"  --- but watch the packets fly wrong directions and avoid Level3 directly out of CC's location or directly inbound too.  This has been happening since L3 was demoted and "Gogent" was added and XO.  Weird that they have "Gogent" but seems to only be accessible via XO's horrid route-to

The latency even with the silliness isn't noticeable big increase between those two locations.  Could be a lot worse.

Yeah I have been staring at their info on HE for eons.

What should I note this time? :) Other than that big drop in IPv4 Prefixes Announced and Originated...

1.) It's all IPv4

2.) Most of it Piggybacks off the DC's BGP blend. (Not a huge problem, but with their scale they could do their own peering/BGP).

3.) The XO Crap is killing me and a lot of routes that could be shorter/more efficient on HE or Cogent.

Telia -> Cogent -> XO -> Cogent -> Level3 -> DC. Such a mess.

Good points.  To be honest, I've never made sense of how they handle their routing.  The upstream graphic is umm, semi odd.

" Most of it Piggybacks off the DC's BGP blend. "   I've suspected this.   What truly confirms that?  I do see some of the datacenters in the upstream graph which is one clue :)  Anything else?

Yes, Colocrossing is strictly IPv4.   People have been whining for years about that and running the IPv6 jokes their way just as long.

XO routing.... well from Buffalo to anywhere, do you see anything other than Telia to XO out of there?  Last time I looked/cared, all I saw was Telia to XO with Cogent often appearing thereafter on outbound...

"Telia -> Cogent -> XO -> Cogent -> Level3 -> DC"

Again, Cogent has the packets early and wastes fussing with XO.  Weird since bonesheads claim they have Cogent and XO and Level3 bandwidth (maybe more claims these days?).   From what I see, doesn't appear so.  Looks like in Buffalo that they have Telia for sure on the outbound.  Inbound they accept Cogent (as per your routes).  I see on inbound they accept XO directly in also.  From Choopa in NJ, they accept into Buffalo over Telia too.

The network wasn't like this 10 months ago it was noticeably better.

I'll post a more complete answer tomorrow, but at one point I found a graph of an active bgp session from CC LA (Quadranet) and it was pure Quadranet BGP.

I can confirm that at least Cogent and Telia are accepted inbound. My ISP gives some Telia routes, but mostly Cogent routes.

CC's routing is overall wonky anyway. I'm sure most of the locations are mostly over nLayer with DC blends as backup, then we have freak-outs like Buffalo without nLayer but far worse peerage. Then again, my ISP's routing changes randomly every day anyway.
