AboveNet Global Routing issue
Hi Everyone, Just received a light-up of calls about general connectivity, a call to AboveNet got us the answer that they are having "global routing issues". Has anyone received any more details? -- Ross Vandegrift ross@kallisti.us "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.

I'm seeing everything from Hughes Network (my vsat) go to Portland, Maine, from Northern Virginia, by way of Nashville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles (Verizon), and then back to Boston (Alter), for 20 hops. The usual is 10, straight up the eastern seaboard. Lots of delay, and more bad dns than usual.
Anyone aware if this is causing any bleedover to Sprint? Seeing massive delays (~280+ ms) and drops between Relay, MD (144.232.15.2) and San Jose (144.232.8.145). Also seeing same from fort worth (144.232.9.192) to ana (144.232.20.64). Cisco.com is a good destination to try. On Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:19:40 -0800 Eric Brunner-Williams <brunner@nic-naa.net> wrote:

According to AboveNet, the routing instability has a temporary solution in place and they are working out the details of a permanent fix. Last I heard, they were planning on moving forward with the scheduled global backbone work that was set for this weekend. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@kallisti.us "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.

Why does that remind me of "rain event" in http://youtube.com/watch?v=DagVklB4VHQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=UjKciefHo38 ? :-) Sorry for off-topic, best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
