Cogent peering issues in Chicago?

Anyone seeing sporadic issues with Cogent? I was unable to browse certain sites for about 6:52am to 6:58am, now things seem normal again.

Our Cogent peering in Chicago has been solid for a long time. I do see a dip in inbound traffic in that 6:55 window, but it's not a big enough dip to be distinguishable from regular noise, and we're only polling at 5 minute intervals anyway, so nothing conclusive there. There was a bit of spike in BGP updates received right around then too, but again nothing crazy. -- Julian Y.

InterNAP just sent out a notice saying that their cogent BGP peering was in admin down while cogent troublshoots a hardware issue. They don't list what POP market the issue is in though. -----Original Message----- From: Outages [mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org] On Behalf Of Erich Kaiser Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 7:02 AM To: outages@outages.org Subject: [outages] Cogent peering issues in Chicago?

We're in Chicago, and we've been having sporadic issues with Cogent for several weeks. We're a cloud software provider with 1000+ clients nationwide, and the issue cropped up again on Friday afternoon for clients in Colorado and locations west. Cogent said it was an unresolved peering issue with Qwest. Anyone else? -----Original Message----- From: Outages [mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org] On Behalf Of Joseph Jackson Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 8:17 AM To: Erich Kaiser; outages@outages.org Subject: Re: [outages] Cogent peering issues in Chicago?

There was an issue with Bell (AS577) to Cogent in Chicago yesterday as well (~ 14:15 to 17:20 GMT-4). I had a ticket open with Cogent and they told me the issue was on Bell's side. Not sure where the issue was ultimately. ---Mike On 6/4/2013 10:19 AM, Linda Effinger Quinde wrote:

We are seeing the same issues with customer VPN/VOIP traffic having issues traversing to Verizon through Cogent. Here's what appears to be their canned response. "Dear Cogent Customer, The latency and/or packet loss that you are experiencing to this destination is due to occasional high traffic with Verizon. Our peering engineers are actively working with Verizon to address this as quickly as possible." Anybody heard any more details, or an ETA?
