So if this went through, how would it happen? Does 3356 (L3) absorb 209's (CL) infrastructure and slowly make customers change their peering config to hit 3356 instead? You make a good point, I have at least a couple clients that peer to both providers for redundancy. One of which just recently signed an agreement with CenturyLink for the sole purpose of fail over. -----Original Message----- Re: CenturyLink in Advanced Talks to Merge With Level 3 Communications - Interweb is doomed From: Jima <nanog () jima us> To: <nanog () nanog org>

Except for all of their mutual customers who had circuits from both for redundancy. (See also: Level 3's and TWTC's mutual customers, and probably a long list of other M&A I'm not thinking of off-hand.) OK, I lied about it being great anyway.
