I have a customer that, last friday at 2AM, they lost VPN connectivity to about 6-10 of their sites in North Carolina Raleigh/Charlotte area. The only common thing with these sites is that they are all Time Warner Cable and have ARRIS modems. When we look at our VPN end-points, we only see IPSEC sent and not received. Their head-end has 600 other VPN tunnels on it with no problems, it is just the ones on TWC in that area. Is anyone else having issues or know of an issue there? Thank you, Jeff

TWC had a residential outage in South Charlotte last night, it might be related to your issues? ./r *My email has changed, please update my email to me@rileychilds.me <me@rileychilds.me>* -- Riley Childs House Electrician CPCC Summer Theatre phone: (704) 497-2086 web: www.rileychilds.me On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 8:47 AM, Jeffrey Fry via Outages <outages@outages.org

We experienced something similar with a customer in North Carolina, also on TWC. Traffic from their site via VPN dropped about 6 AM, and the VPN dropped. The tunnel was restored but no traffic could traverse it. Traces were inconclusive but it was apparent that there was an issue with transmit/receive or somewhere a route had changed. Finally routed them to another carrier on our side to resolve the issue. This was a commercial site, I'll check to see if they use ARRIS modems.

Great - that is what I was hoping to hear (but not wanting to hear). Wonder what happened to cause this - perhaps someone from TWC will see this thread. On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 9:23 AM, David Palmerton <david@palmertons.com> wrote:

We're experiencing the same issue with VPN tunnels in North Carolina when using TWC upstream. All services are business class. We're seeing multiple sites affected. We've opened a carrier ticket. Has anyone else gotten an update from them? Thanks. -Raymond Beaudoin On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 9:51 AM, David Palmerton via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

We have seen the TWC impacted sites self-restore around 11 AM today. Or at least that is when our alerting system noticed them coming back on-line to our Atlanta DC. Just wanted to share. Jeff On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 2:24 PM, Raymond Beaudoin < raymond.beaudoin@icarustech.com> wrote:
