Level 3 had a routing loop problem in San francisco on 8/8-8/9. We had issues with Comcast customers being able to access some websites. Did anyone see anything similar ?

I saw up to 40% packet-loss on the Comcast network between Sacramento/Portland, for intermittent periods of time between 9AM-3PM PST. It's been stable the past few hours. This was seen both via Level3 and Sprint from my perspective.

Our texas NMS picked up ingress routing trouble to Level(3) prefixes around 3:00AM PST. Traffic to SFO and SJC from Dallas was headed through London. Level(3) seemed to correct this after about 45 minutes. On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 3:41 PM, Monika Bajwa <mbajwa75@yahoo.com> wrote:

Yes. Started at 3:36am Pacific, and ended at 4:12am. Looks like level 3 were advertising their US routes out of London, with latency from non-L3 in San Francisco to multiple Level 3 around 200ms and near 100% packet loss. 2 10gigabitethernet1-1.core1.sjc2.he.net (72.52.81.178) 10.484 ms 13.600 ms 4.616 ms 3 10gigabitethernet1-3.core1.nyc4.he.net (72.52.92.26) 90.816 ms 86.060 ms 79.697 ms 4 10gigabitethernet1-2.core1.lon1.he.net (72.52.92.78) 160.023 ms 149.021 ms 157.903 ms 5 * * * 6 * * * 7 * * * Scott.
