Bay Area packet loss at Comcast (gblx.net, he.net)

I think this happens practically every evening recently, for traffic between Comcast in NorCal and Linode at he.net in Fremont, around gblx.net. Today I have been monitoring through a crontab script since 16:00 PT, with a 10-minute mtr runs in a loop. The traffic loss has started in the 20:50/21:00 timeframe, and is still ongoing (22:20). There weren't a 10-minute interval between 20:50 and 22:20 without at least a 4% packet loss (often more than that). 2013-01-18T20:50:09-0800 HOST: li163-### Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1. router1-fmt.linode.com 0.0% 600 47.5 29.2 0.5 304.2 38.4 2. 10gigabitethernet2-3.core1.fmt1.he.net 0.0% 600 0.6 16.3 0.6 929.0 64.5 3. 10gigabitethernet1-2.core1.sjc2.he.net 0.5% 600 2.4 4.1 0.7 41.9 6.4 4.

Thats not an outage, thats a congested link - probably you should report to HE / GBLX / Comcast.... On 19 January 2013 06:37, Constantine A. Murenin <mureninc@gmail.com> wrote:
