[AusNOG] MSN (Azure) and NTT peering in Sydney

[Chris O'Donoghue]

Hi all,

I'm the Ops human for a small AU cloud SaaS provider.

Some of our infrastructure runs on Dimension Data's cloud while the vast majority runs in Azure.

The network connectivity between these networks has been pretty poor.

At first we asked NTT to optimize their path between NTT and MSN as both the forward and reverse path was tromboning, with the path between NTT -> Azure going via Perth, Singapore and Tokyo before returning to Sydney.
We still have the forward path tromboning via Singapore and Tokyo.

Q: are there any MSN network techs on this list who can assist with fixing this?

Cheers

Chris
