East coast outage

Is anyone else seeing connectivity issues along the east coast? Our pipe
through HE in NYC is showing loss to things behind most of Level3, and
Qwest below Washington.

Definitely seeing problems here in Vermont. Reachability issues to amazon and other sites. Cogent BGP sessions have bounced, but still up.

Right now things look normal, but it was definitely rocky over the last hour.

Hello Ben,

Is anyone else seeing connectivity issues along the east coast? Our pipe
through HE in NYC is showing loss to things behind most of Level3, and
Qwest below Washington.

We see the same, traffic going from Amsterdam towards HE heading USA is experiencing big packetloss at the moment.

Traffic heading towards Ashburn seems affected from our point of view.

Bye,
Raymond.

There’s a major fiber outage between Ashburn, VA and Philadelphia, PA.

Amazon was definitely on the list of sites with issues. I threw the switch
over to a different provider so my CSR's wouldn't kill me. If you are
seeing it start to seem more normal, might throw a test prefix back in an
hour or so and see what it is doing.

I see a couple things that leads me to believe there's something afoot in
NOVA as well.

But not done with my first coffee, so unable to process any specifics yet.
:slight_smile:

That'll do it.

I know Zayo has a cut somewhere between MD and DC, it's knocked a few
things offline. Not sure if it's a shared conduit and who else may be
affected. ETA for splicing crew is 1030 Eastern.

According to our optical noc they’re shooting new fiber as we speak. So now we wait.

From our ticket with Zayo:

*Reason for Outage Summary*: The cause of this issue was traced to an
active construction site. 50' of 432 ct cable in 8 conduits were damaged.
OSP was able to repair all conduits and pull and splice new fiber cable to
make this repair.

Should we not be able to expect that these kind of failures are handled
seamlessly by rerouting through redundant paths? A little extra latency ok.
Packet loss, you failed to plan and upgrade your redundancy correctly.
