<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Well that's the issue, it floods the link and blocks all traffic on the port, looking at the pipe graphs it appears to have maxed ALOT of people's ports in Equinix. Even the Akamai gige ports are near maxed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We get alerts because the port became so full that traffic could not traverse it, therefor the monitoring server thinks its down. We only have a 100mbit port to pipe.</div><div><br></div><div>Skeeve, I believe it is a switch issue or a customer, it keeps happening but never a really good explanation. This time I am seeking one because I am so over it happening.<br>

<div>Yeah every few weeks it happens is what I mean, they start sending</div>
<div>hundreds of mbits of useless broadcast traffic to all customers in</div>
<div>Equinix. It's getting frustrating and annoying as it always seems to</div>
<div>happen at 2:00on a Saturday morning :(</div>

<div>Subject: SPAM-LOW: [AusNOG] Pipe peering issue - Equinix</div>
<div>Date: Sun, Nov 13, 2011 3:30 am</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Guys,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just as an FYI there appears to be some form of broadcast storm on the</div>
<div>pipe peering fabric in Equinix Sydney, looks to be affecting a few</div>
<div>people and filling links from the looks of their online graphs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have had to shut our pipe peering down until they resolve it, which</div>
<div>is my next question... Do pipe have a 24/7 NOC still? I called over 30</div>
<div>minutes ago and went to a messaging service but have not had a call</div>
<div>back, have also created a ticket with no response.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So if anyone is wondering why their pipe link is full, this is why.</div>
<div>Appears to be happening every few weeks in Equinix lately.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
