We are still seeing some issue from yesterday’s fiber cut on Level3. Some circuit’s never came back up and other went back down this morning. I am working with Level3 on this now.

As far as I can tell, the route we are using to Chicago is back up, but am having a surprising number of ping timeouts/latency within the level3 path. I know they de-prioritize ICMP, but this degree of it is just silly and makes trying to understand what's going on to cause the performance issues we are having much harder. traceroute 8.8.8.8: https://gist.github.com/terribleplan/902f15e4729511e9b4c1 On Fri, Nov 20, 2015 at 10:01 AM, Erik Sundberg via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

I’m seeing loss at Dallas to Cleveland on level3. If Chicago is out of route because of a fiber cut guessing Cleveland is the redundant path but doesn’t have the capacity.
