The misperforming c-root coincided with another glitch that prevented many people from reaching the c-root website, which is also maintained by Cogent. Many assumed that the cause for both problems was the same. It later turned out that the site problems were the result of Cogent transferring the IP address used to host the site to Orange Ivory Coast, an African subsidiary of French telecom Orange.

 

The mixup prompted Bortzmeyer to joke, “Reported to Cogent (ticket HD303751898) but they do not seem to understand that they manage a root name server.”

 

The errors come as Cogent has in recent months terminated relationships with several carriers to exchange each other’s traffic under an arrangement known as peering. The most recent termination occurred last Friday, when Cogent partially ”depeered” Indian carrier Tata Communications, a move that made many Tata-hosted sites in the Asia Pacific region unreachable to Cogent customers.
