[AusNOG] SPAM-LOW: Pipe peering issue - Equinix

[Jared Hirst]

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.

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.

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.

Kindest Regards,
Jared Hirst

I can see a bunch (about 80mbit) of broadcast traffic dropped at my
switch-port, but no loss of traffic.

Thanks

  Do we know where the traffic is coming from?

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

 Last time we were told they need to fix switch/router but they can't do it
for some reason

 Guys,

 Just as an FYI there appears to be some form of broadcast storm on the
pipe peering fabric in Equinix Sydney, looks to be affecting a few
people and filling links from the looks of their online graphs.

 We have had to shut our pipe peering down until they resolve it, which
is my next question... Do pipe have a 24/7 NOC still? I called over 30
minutes ago and went to a messaging service but have not had a call
back, have also created a ticket with no response.

 So if anyone is wondering why their pipe link is full, this is why.
Appears to be happening every few weeks in Equinix lately.

 Kindest Regards,
Jared Hirst
