    I think what people are upset about is that you now have less
    redundancy now if you are a cogent transit customer. If I tell my
    customers, "I have 3 full transit links", I now have to put an *
    there. If my 2 non cogent links go down, I dont have a full
    visibility of the Internet. I see everything, except Level3. It
    becomes more acute if you have just 2 transit links-- Cogent and one
    other. What if your other provider has a lossy path to Level 3
    ? You cant work around it by preferencing 174 3356
