Cogent can’t support more than a 7Gbps flow from AWS on a 10G interface.

Cogent is something else today. They called one of my NOC guys to say “Uh, hey, we need you to send less traffic over your port. We can’t handle 7Gbps on that 10G port you have. It is causing issues with peering for us.”

My response ...

Seriously? Your capacity management or lack thereof is not my problem. But thank you for letting me know that our port is artificially capped at less than the speed we are paying for so I can submit for a service credit.
