 Hi James,

 Still waiting for the RfO on this whole thing with the details. Neither seen one here nor as a follow-up to customer notifications.

 Cheers,
 Wolfgang

      Hi James,

 Hmm - can understand that but would have expected that there is sufficient redundancy in the LA landing of your network. I would have expected that a re-route and taking SJC largely out of the equation would be possible. Surprised to say the least .

 Cheers,
 Wolfgang

    Early mail is a power surge in a US DC has damaged both core routers. Wouldn't surprise me if transport from other providers out of that building will be having similar issues. 

 Circuits are being moved directly to borders as we speak.

    WOW.... It has taken 2 hours to get remote hands to the DC with what seems to be a device with no redundancy?

Engineers are currently awaiting remote support in the US. Links will be physically moved from the failed device in order to restore services on an alternate device.

They say there is a big rewrite coming on the way rpd and sampled interact in 14.2; and the slow convergance issues have been fixed in more releases than I care to remember right now. but people say they are pretty good in the 12.3r6 train. Our MX80's are slated for upgrade to that at some stage in the next few months.    
   Some noise about this on j-nsp again today.

True, but they otherwise work exceptionally well.  

I'm not sure what kind of PowerPC CPU is doing all the work on an MX80's RE, but I do sometimes wonder if the CPU on a <$40 Raspberry Pi might be more up to the job :-P

Glad I'm not the only one holding my breath on our MXs :)

We've done the same (about 20 minutes ago).   

Right now I hate how long Juniper MX's take to stabilise their routing table with sampling on.

We have just turned Vocus off. Using other providers for now, as the flapping is causing it to go up and down.

Indeed seeing some big drops in gaming traffic at present, normally we see above 60mbit on weekends at evenings, but not even seeing 40mbit at present :S

Yeah we are seeing this! Everything running via them is flapping, they claim to have 'routed around it' but that's not the case. Very frustrating as it's been an hour and no one there seems to know whats going on....

Hey All,

Just saw the dashboards light up with connectivity issues internationally for Vocus services and thought I'd make others aware.

Vocus outage report is saying: "core network link between 59 Doody Street, Alexandria and 55 South Market Street, San Jose has failed" which hopefully isn't a Southern Cross fault!

Anyone else seeing this or have more info?   

Cheers, 

Andrew
