We noticed random traffic originating from AS577 stopped getting to our ASN via Cogent in Montreal at around 00:24 this morning. Based on the pattern I am guessing a broken next hop on one leg of a larger link ? e.g. IP traffic leaving AS577 towards IP addresses in one of my /19s will 100% work for certain IPs and 100% fail for others all within that same /19. e.g. from 142.112.93.72 (an IP originating in AS577) to one of the IPs below in my 64.7.128.0/19 64.7.134.1 100% fail 64.7.134.2 100% pass 64.7.134.3 fail 64.7.134.4 fail 64.7.134.5 fail 64.7.134.6 fail 64.7.134.7 100% pass 64.7.134.8 100% fail 64.7.134.9 fail 64.7.134.10 pass Its just packets towards my ASN that are failing. Packets TO 577 via 174 all work fine.

I have a ticket open with Cogent, but they dont see any issues in their network. I am not a direct customer of Bell, so I cant open a ticket with them. Was hoping someone from AS577 would see this and take a look. ---Mike
