In the Internet Port blend
AS174 sits in the Internet Port upstream mix. Traffic egresses 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
An Internet Port carries the full blend — it includes Cogent Communications alongside the other Tier-1 and regional upstreams. The blend provides the routing benefit of several carriers from a single port, without separate cross-connects.
Diverse-path egress
The Internet Port blend 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.
