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

[Chris O'Donoghue]

Well it seems that persistence pays.

NTT now peer across Sydney with Azure.

Now MSN have updated their routes.

Hope this improves the general situation for connectivity in Sydney.

Subject: MSN (Azure) and NTT peering in Sydney

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
