As of a few minutes ago, all US SoftLayer (IBM Cloud) locations look normal to me. On Tue, Jun 9, 2020 at 5:27 PM James Brown <jbrown@easypost.com> wrote:
Just wanted to share updates:
I got through to someone at IBM who confirmed the level of chaos over there. It looks like they've started deploying some mitigations because I'm seeing packet loss drop off but latency is now awful for all US locations. It looks like IBM has failed over all of their peering to go through their European facilities because every return packet from every POP is coming from lon03.networklayer.com or ams02.networklayer.com (via Telia).

It looks like IBM Cloud / SoftLayer / NetworkLayer is having a global outage since about 15:04 Pacific time affecting routing to AWS, Level 3 / CenturyLink, and a bunch of other providers. Has anyone been able to get more details?
