[AusNOG] FYI: Telstra carrier interconnects are full

[Sean Agius]

Hi Brad,

Not too sure I agree with your sentiments; people still get call failures and congestion occurs during the NYE event. Additionally, calls during the NYE event are quite short in nature and therefore channels are constantly cycled through at a higher rate. This event is not remotely close and considering it is affecting Landline to Landline, Mobile to Landline etc. from various carriers, I don’t think it’s relevant who is providing the endpoints for the hotline(s) being called during this time. Myself with Telstra could only make calls to someone else on the Optus network (Mobile to Mobile), one in ~eight attempts. All others either immediately failed or advised that I was restricted.

Once again, all carriers are experiencing this congestion, some more than others.

We seem to manage on New Years Eve with no issues..
Who is providing the SIP endpoints for the hotline.

It’s not SIP channel issue unfortunately. Rob is on the money.

I am led to believe that line orders are being provisioned with urgency to increase capacity, so definitely not a BW or SIP issue per-se.

All congestion is stemming from the COVID-19 Hotline and affecting multiple Tier 1 providers nationally at present.

it sounds to me more like a finite number of SIP channels, rather than bandwidth.

could quite easily be a licenced capacity on an SBC type deal

I don't doubt that you're right Rob, but help me out here. Surely
voice traffic is such a tiny drop in the networking-traffic bucket
that any sort of increase is still largely insignificant.

Are you saying that voice interconnects are big, fat, pipes and that
ramping them up is a big deal?

If so, I'm a little surprised (as well as depressed about the lack of
forethought).


Mark.
