Severe Packet loss

Hi Guys,

We our having issue's and our upstream provider is reporting route
flaps, the say its affecting quite a few networks but just checking if
anyone else is having issue's???

Gary

quite a bit of information you have there

anyone else think the internet is a little flaky today? *facepalm*

Understanding this is a little vague, I can say that I did see "weirdness" in connectivity from a datacenter in Seattle to LA, Dallas to LA and Amazon West US to Dallas, and Denver to Seattle about 2am to 3am MDT. If you could provide what carriers you are on, maybe we can compare notes?

"The internet is broken"

"Yes dear. Care to tell me which part?"

You'll generally get more helpful responses from NANOG and other forums if you provide more detail than "major issue's[sic]" and "route flaps". People will be more inclined to help or offer suggestions if you provide details and have done some research into the problem already.

For example:
What major issues were you seeing? Can those issues be defined with traceroutes, snapshots of BGP route views, reproducible difficulties in reaching a particular site, etc? What other carriers were reporting problems? Can you provide a source and destination address that is having connectivity issues?

When you say "our upstream provider", are you single-homed or multi-homed?

Speaking from my own little corner of the world, I haven't seen any major connectivity problems here in the past 24 hours.

Cogent had some planned maintenance during the 2-4a timeframe.

Furthermore there was some sluggishness and packet loss for some of my
customers that *seemed* to be centered around Ashburn, VA around 9-9:30 but
cleared up before I could get a good look at it or even before where it was
situated.

Was it just the bias of my nationality that prompted me to repeat this
out-loud with a posh, British accent? :slight_smile:
