Hi All,
On the back of the latest round of security related posts, anyone notice the 50% packet loss (as reported to me) across the USA -> NZ links around lunchtime (GMT+10) today?
Yep, easily .. we saw big routing problems for that /19 and a lot of innocent bystanders, in two waves, correlated across most sources. First signs of trouble at 23:12 GMT. Then long periods of unreachability, from roughly 23:15-23:42 GMT and 01:26-02:10 GMT (the second one less well-correlated; routes were still available from some of our peers). Routes were fully restored globally by 02:12 GMT, presumably after the upstream rate limiting kicked in. If anyone has mrtg plots for the affected links, I'd sure like to see 'em. ---------- James Cowie Renesys Corporation cowie@renesys.com
