This post covers information about Google’s plan to stop peering via route servers as well as possible speculation around why they are doing that.

Hello world from Gujarat! This is my 3rd visit to Gujarat. :)

Coming to today’s post: I have noticed ISPs doing really crazy things to maximise traffic on peerings and IXPs. Some of those are bad and some are very bad. Additionally I came across this comment and thought to put this quick post.

 

Example of some bad ways to increase IXP traffic:

• Using upstream’s ASN to keep AS path shorter (yes, believe me I have seen that!)
