Is anyone seeing packet loss or routing issues on the Level3 network on the east coast right now?
We’ve seen a slew of problems going west out of Level3 in NYC the last couple of nights. Last night was particularly bad to the point we had to shut our Level3 BGP sessions down to route around the issue.
Since 7:30AM CDT Friday morning, we've seen strange problems across L3
where around 1-2% of traffic flows are dying. It is interesting behavior in
that new flows from the same source to the same destination work, however,
in the cases where the traffic is stopped we never receive the SYN-ACK nor
any of the retransmits. The destination side continues to receive the SYN
retransmits.
Edit: It is interesting behavior in that new flows from the same source to
the same destination work are successful...
We're actually seeing some problems coming from the Boston area, going
to Cisco WebEx. We keep ending up going to Level 3 NY and dying,
intermittently. Unfortunately, both of our peers, Level3 and XO, end up
going to the same place from Boston. If I go to WebEx from a device in
Florida, we end up going via Level3 in Washington DC and are fine.
