[Mat Walker]

>From Optus;


System ID: 395745

Outage ID: 11621035

Outage Type: Unplanned

Start Date/Time: 25/07/2013 10:56:10

State:

QLD

Service Type: Major Outage - Voice & Data



Description:

Multiple data/voice services reported as down in Queensland



Progress Update:

10:15 Multiple data/voice services reported as down in Queensland 11:00 Roter is being investigated by the vendor at Roachdale Exchange


We've shut down our primary QLD Optus BGP peer and are now preferring most traffic via our Sydney Optus & NTT peers.

On the grapevine we hear that they have a Juniper router that has crapped itself, is "with the vendor" but is propagating to other parts of their network, as we're seeing mass BGP peer updates / resets on our legacy Optus Cisco BGP peers.

We identified significant congestion with connectivity at approx. 10:05 BNE and subsequently stopped our own BGP announcements into that backbone to maintain customer connectivity (ie, we're only announcing to our other upstreams).

A good example of congestion from Telstra Melbourne back to Brisbane (believed via Optus) can be seen here:

We are as well, I've got no real info at this point.
25 mins ago(ish), our site activity has dropped significantly and some of our remote sites are completely offline.
