Anyone else seeing any issues in NYC with Lightower/Sidera? Starting around 6:05AM (EST) we saw heavy packet loss across their network (from Sidera legacy) and some of our point to points bounce. The P to P's have some what stabilized (though we've seen a couple more bounces since then) the IP side of things have been pretty much unusable (we shut our session down.) It also looks like their phone system is having a problem - calls into them seem to drop after trying to connect to the NOC - which I'm sure is pretty busy. -Jayson

Yes. Heavy packet loss on their circuits in NYC. - Gaurav. On Nov 7, 2013 5:28 PM, "Jayson Navitsky" <jnavitsky@gmail.com> wrote:

We use them for L2 transport between Nycm and BSTP. It started taking errors at approx. 6:05am EST. Thankfully this is just a protect path for us. Calling their NOC results in busy signals or just dead air. ~ Karl On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 7:08 AM, Vincent Aniello <VAniello@portware.com>wrote:

I contacted their NOC about 45min ago. They have stated they are still working on resolution. They have reports about some services being functional, while other still experiencing packet-loss and latency. It does not sound like they have been able to identify the root cause and are still troubleshooting. Here is the number I used to get through to their NOC: 888-583-4237, option 1. From there, just follow the prompts. Fwiw, my customer circuit from NYC to NJ is still affected. On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 10:25 AM, John Kinsella <jlk@thrashyour.com> wrote:

I contacted their NOC about 45min ago. They have stated they are still working on resolution. They have reports about some services being functional, while other still experiencing packet-loss and latency. It does not sound like they have been able to identify the root cause and are still troubleshooting.

This outage is still on-going. I spoke with an executive at LT earlier today and the word then was that some downstream customer of the Sidera/ConEd/RCN legacy network is leaking PVST BPDUs and its wreaking havoc on their network. I'm not sure how legitimate that is anymore since its been several hours. Apparently though, since our circuits are fluctuating up and down every few minutes, it would seem they're not very close to resolution. We're approaching the 12 hour mark for certain circuits. They also don't seem to have any tools to notify/communicate with their customers about the on-going efforts..and they don't tweet anything but marketing crap. The management of this incident is asinine. -James On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 4:54 PM, Tim Durack <tdurack@gmail.com> wrote:

Anyone else seeing any issues in NYC with Lightower/Sidera? Starting around 6:05AM (EST) we saw heavy packet loss across their network (from Sidera legacy) and some of our point to points bounce. The P to P's have some what stabilized (though we've seen a couple more bounces since then) the IP side of things have been pretty much unusable (we shut our session down.) It also looks like their phone system is having a problem - calls into them seem to drop after trying to connect to the NOC - which I'm sure is pretty busy.

Thanks James. I was told of some sort of packet storm causing the outage on their MPLS network. Maybe these BPDUs have spanning tree going haywire. Maybe they had to isolate some PEs from the network and all of us are on those PEs? -----Original Message----- From: Outages [mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org] On Behalf Of James Cornman Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 5:35 PM To: outages@outages.org Subject: Re: [outages] Lightower/Sidera - NYC This outage is still on-going. I spoke with an executive at LT earlier today and the word then was that some downstream customer of the Sidera/ConEd/RCN legacy network is leaking PVST BPDUs and its wreaking havoc on their network. I'm not sure how legitimate that is anymore since its been several hours. Apparently though, since our circuits are fluctuating up and down every few minutes, it would seem they're not very close to resolution. We're approaching the 12 hour mark for certain circuits. They also don't seem to have any tools to notify/communicate with their customers about the on-going efforts..and they don't tweet anything but marketing crap. The management of this incident is asinine. -James On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 4:54 PM, Tim Durack <tdurack@gmail.com> wrote:

Confirmed here as well, 7 out of 7 L2 tail circuits not passing traffic after a good hour of instability.
FWIW, I don't recall any recent maintenance announcements from them, so this is a bit troubling (I'd expect this if we saw a big rollout of new code the night previous) since it came out of the blue. I can also confirm we saw our first outage much earlier than they acknowledged, one circuit lost connectivity at 5:23 a.m. I can also confirm that we did not see the physical layer go down once on any of our circuits, this seems to be occurring in the core, not the rings that actually service the buildings.
We're legacy ConEd/RCN/Sidera, have no idea if this is happening with the LT network or not.
We got what appears to be a bogus "all restored" email at 2:50 p.m.

I contacted their NOC about 45min ago. They have stated they are still working on resolution. They have reports about some services being functional, while other still experiencing packet-loss and latency. It does not sound like they have been able to identify the root cause and are still troubleshooting.
Here is the number I used to get through to their NOC: 888-583-4237, option 1. From there, just follow the prompts.
Fwiw, my customer circuit from NYC to NJ is still affected.
