Renesys: Sprint Leads Global IP Transit

Ray Le Maistre writes on Light Reading:

Sprint Nextel Corp. has more transit relationships globally than any other international IP network operator, according to new statistics for the first quarter of 2006 from Internet intelligence firm Renesys Corp.

Using its home-grown technology that monitors the routing tables of the world's advertised IP networks, Renesys has compiled a Top 10 table of carriers ranked by the number of direct or indirect transit relationships they have.

Sprint is top of the pile, followed by Level 3 Communications Inc. and Verizon Business -- courtesy of the UUNet international IP network it now owns following its acquisition of MCI.
