[AusNOG] Vocus vs. Pipe - Was: Vocus peering traffic missing from PIPE-IX?

[Amante Alvaran]

Jumping into conclusion :) could this be the much awaited effect of the
SOUL/TPG/PIPE merger few years back. If it's the trust or business related
concern I'm sure there's a valid reason why this is happening. 

 

NOTE: I don't work for TPG.

Optus and Telstra are clearly competitors too... so are Nextgen and a pile
of others.... but you don't see Pipe playing games with them - because only
they would lose out.

 

I don't know the reasons why Pipe chose this path yet, but I'd like to...
The community has been seriously inconvenienced by this bullshit.

 

Any player (not just Pipe... AAPT went through this) who plays with the
industry like this will find themselves in serious issues as providers will
just abandon them in droves.  AAPT is only just clawing back some of their
wholesale business are being stupid to deal with for a long time.

 

Pipe is an awesome asset, I just hope it is treated well, but in the end it
is David Teoh's toy to destroy if he likes.

Why are you surprised? I think it is more surprising that Pipe accommodated
(in a variety of ways) Vocus for as long as they did, since they're clearly
competitors. Pipe (or any commercial company) have no obligation to help out
their competitors, unless it is mandated by the government, or there is a
mutual benefit.

This is probably also a good thing for Vocus, as it will cause them to
reduce their dependency on somebody who considers them to be a threat.

Pipe IXes may be good places to peer, but if they become less so, other
parties will likely step in to take their place.
