Jay,

I'm not sure what region you're having trouble in, but Qwest had a tech sent to the Cleveland Tandem (CLEVOH62) to replace a piece of transport equipment at ~8AM EST. This dispatch was to repair an OC-48 ring taking errors which was affecting many DS1s for us. I'm not sure if this is related or not, but as far as I'm aware, they have resolved the issue and our services are restored.

Paul at Airespring tells me Qwest has an OC-48 outage somewhere, which might be contributing to call and trunk problems I'm seeing this morning.

Anyone got anything on this?

Naw, that won't be my root cause. I've had half a dozen PRIs flapping, first continuously, then randomly, in West Florida. I suspect my reseller support guy at Airespring, the second or third least competent calltaker I've ever spoken to, was merely speculating.

Thanks, though.

It seems VSNL/Tata amongst other network vendors in india seem to be facing a major network issue. A client of mine who has offices in various other locations confirmed his satellite offices uses airtel and they seem to be facing the same problem. The issue seems to be only with the international carrier.

Has anyone heard / can shed some light on this? It has been horribly slow with packet losses and latencies in the range of 800ms+ what used to normally be 280, and has been such for the past 8 odd hours that I am aware off.
