We tried to get our VPN work from the China Telecom/China Unicom beijing POP for over a year. The Chinese always claimed it was kosher, but we had something like 60%+ loss across our 4 hop VPN for the entirety of the project. Private circuits don't really exist on the mainland, HK and (maybe) Shanghai are about the only places for decent connectivity. :/ On 12/5/12 7:38 AM, "Suresh Ramasubramanian" <ops.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
It's called the great firewall of china. Feel free to shift vendors but it won't help.
Meanwhile make sure none of your users are surfing for falun gong, dalai lama, ai weiwei or whoever else the chicom censors don't like on that particular day

It looks like I'm having China Telecom issues yet again. They're batting down our SSL VPN tunnels. Switching ports doesn't help. Tunneling the SSL tunnel inside of another tunnel doesn't help. At this point I'm tired of listening to the screaming by the business users. Can someone contact me (here or off-list, I don't care) about circuits in China so that we don't have to use China Telecom? We'd only need 2-10 Mbit and Ethernet hand off. We don't need BGP or MPLS or anything remotely fancy. Our main concern is getting connectivity to the business district in Suzhou, but it'd be nice if we could also use the same carrier in Shenzhen.
Thanks!
