Hi folks,

Could someone from Telus (852) reach out, please?  We're seeing a chunk of users on Telus home connections around the Vancouver, BC, area (Lower Mainland) struggling with RTT and some chunks of loss on VPN connections endpoints through gateways in Las Vegas as of ~2022-03-17.

Outer path to the tunnel gateway is fine at <60 ms with low jitter and without loss.  Tunneled traffic (predominantly ESP, but some users on SSL wrapped at times) shoots up to 130+ ms or above 200, with high variability and chunks of loss.  Traceroutes from the users show outer traffic handing off to Zayo in Vancouver and across Akamai in Seattle before coming to us in Vegas.  Users on other providers are unaffected.

I'm reaching in case there are some shenanigans with ESP or SSL-wrapped traffic being futzed with somehow before being handed to us.

Gateway endpoint is v4 only at 185.34.107.131, and is advertised out from 60229 to Akamai/Prolexic (32787).
