Publicly available internet routing data indicates that Cogent Communications, Inc. (AS174) provides upstream transit to PureVoltage Hosting Inc. (AS971). This means that for connectivity to the broader internet, PureVoltage relies at least in part on Cogent’s network. The relationship is inferred from observed BGP announcements and is recorded in the CAIDA AS Relationships dataset.
Watchpoints
- Changes in the AS relationship, such as a downgrade to a peering relationship or termination of the commercial agreement, could affect PureVoltage's connectivity and redundancy.
- Addition of other transit providers or multi-homing by PureVoltage, which would diversify their upstream dependencies.
- Any public disputes or routing incidents between the two networks.
Caveats
- The CAIDA dataset provides a historical snapshot from May 1, 2026; the relationship may have evolved or ended since that date.
- This profile does not contain details about the commercial terms, bandwidth, or specific contractual obligations between the parties.
- Internet routing data can be noisy; the inferred relationship is an algorithmic classification, not a direct confirmation by the companies.
