I'm betting on it being blackout related: Starts getting ugly between Dallas and LA and just goes down hill from there: 9 dfw3-core4-pos7-0.atlas.icix.net (165.117.48.134) [AS 2548] 36 msec 36 msec 36 msec 10 lax2-core2-pos7-0.atlas.icix.net (165.117.48.42) [AS 2548] 68 msec 64 msec 68 msec --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc On Thu, 18 Jan 2001, Marshall Eubanks wrote:
Is your network multicast enabled ? My traceroute to you shows that you home to AS 2548, which is.
If so, this might be connected to the RAMEN worm. This is hosing up native multicast but good, so much so that it is affecting routers and causing some unicast problems. I heard, for example, that it is causing 4% packet loss at the Abilene NOC. RAMEN is (for the multicast enabled part of the Internet) effectively a DOS attack.

I have noticed east coast routers/providers are getting beat up fairly rough. I am having hard times getting my clients in Europe to see me here in San Diego. Level3 and PSInet are taking a beating hard.

Is anyone seeing lots of routing oddities? I'm not able to get to a lot of sites that I normally can, that are hosted in different places; and I'm wondering if some providers are routing around California outages.
Not that I know of. There is something squirrely going on with the root name servers, but I haven't figured it out if it is just my location or more widespread.
