Re: Cogent & FDCServers: Knowingly aiding and abetting fraud and theft?

Hello Ronald,

if you'd open the traceroute you just sent you'd see that the target is route looping and not actually used by their 
alleged customer? Since the loop is actually between the FDC aggregation router and Cogent's backbone router. Also, 
what would the target IP have been in this case, since it was omitted?
