Seems like Softlayer/Network layer having rouitng glitches in Asia. Their prefix 216.12.192.0/19 is not working in South East. Route goes till Singapore router and times out there. traceroute to hostgator.com (216.12.194.67), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 router.local (192.168.1.1) 1.576 ms 2.025 ms 2.508 ms 2 117.212.40.1 (117.212.40.1) 26.500 ms 29.397 ms 31.717 ms 3 218.248.173.46 (218.248.173.46) 35.014 ms 36.184 ms 38.806 ms 4 115.249.245.198 (115.249.245.198) 50.224 ms 54.037 ms 56.476 ms 5 115.255.252.149 (115.255.252.149) 100.129 ms 101.235 ms 106.338 ms 6 62.216.147.249 (62.216.147.249) 115.066 ms 116.228 ms 118.407 ms 7 ge-1-0-0.0.cjr02.chn001.flagtel.com (62.216.135.226) 121.183 ms 83.215 ms so-7-0-0.0.ejr03.sin001.flagtel.com (62.216.128.73) 116.212 ms 8 so-7-1-0.0.ejr04.sin001.flagtel.com (62.216.128.153) 116.677 ms 118.551 ms 62.216.128.246 (62.216.128.246) 121.665 ms 9 p6453.sgw.equinix.com (202.79.197.19) 162.612 ms 163.006 ms 163.631 ms 10 ae12.bbr01.eq01.sng02.networklayer.com (120.29.215.102) 167.409 ms 169.761 ms 173.955 ms 11 ae6.dar02.sr03.sng01.networklayer.com (50.97.18.203) 177.675 ms 180.009 ms ae5.dar02.sr03.sng01.networklayer.com (50.97.18.199) 171.207 ms 12 po2.fcr01.sr03.sng01.networklayer.com (174.133.118.133) 180.555 ms * * 13 * * * 14 * * * I wonder what causes such issues? Clearly issue is within Softlayer's AS 36351. So is it like broken OSPF inside or iBGP? -- Anurag Bhatia anuragbhatia.com Linkedin <http://in.linkedin.com/in/anuragbhatia21> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/anurag_bhatia>| Google+ <https://plus.google.com/118280168625121532854>
