Re: [outages] Cogeco - Toronto outage?

Is the NNI with them for LAN type services or is it TPIA? We have both and are not experiencing any issues so sounds like possibly the demarcation switch you are connected to possibly ….

We are also seeing some outages around the Toronto area. One of our NNI is also flapping from time to time. The weird part is that I'm seeing two way traffic, but way under the usual levels on the circuits. Anyone has any concrete info from Cogeco?

Appears they're having some bigger issues, I couldn't reach www.esasafe.com from a Cogeco business fiber line, but could from a connection that is based off cogeco's cable network(start.ca). MTR got completely lost on the fiber link(stops two hops past burl-ts1.cgocable.net, with heavy(8-10%) packet loss from that point on), but made it to Rogers (the hoster of esasafe.com) from the home connection just fine. Just retested after typing the above up and it appears to work again, so they're having some issues. On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 9:20 AM, Nick Pron via Outages <outages@outages.org> wrote:

Looks like it was resolved around noon today EST for us. *Update 2:43 EDT Hrs - 16 MAY 2018* We have diagnosed a MAC address flooding issue which was affecting connectivity for a number of our clients. We have implemented a temporary control to resolve the impact. This temporary control was implemented just over an hour ago and since then we have not seen any reoccurrence of the issue and all ports remain enabled. We will continue to closely monitor the situation as we implement a permanent resolution to the issue. On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 12:54 PM, Nick Pron via Outages <outages@outages.org
