Upstream on AS6206
AS174 sits in the DF Transit upstream mix. Routes originated on DF Transit egress over Cogent Communications where BGP selects it as the best-path. No extra cross-connect required — the upstream is native.

[ Why Cogent Communications + DFDC ]

Cogent is present in the THG1 meet-me area, available as a direct cross-connect or via the BareFABRIC IP transit blend. Useful where shorter AS_PATH into smaller European NSPs matters.

How a deployment with Cogent Communications looks in practice.
One port, full blend
A single BareFABRIC port lights DF Transit; the blend includes Cogent Communications plus the other Tier-1 upstreams. You get the routing benefit of multiple Tier-1s without buying multiple cross-connects or running BGP yourself.
Diverse-path egress
DF Transit egresses over physically diverse paths out of THG1, with multiple Tier-1 upstreams active simultaneously. Single-carrier-incident risk does not take down your egress.
