This is going up and down here. Will keep monitoring. First major LLU fault for me.

[Rik]

Are you running a ThinkBroadband BQM, esh? If not, it might be helpful as mine seems to have given about a week's warning of this problem.

[wkb21]

Mail exchanges still not working in Scotland:

"451 4.3.5 Server configuration problem"

But web ok.

My mail exchanges are now back to normal.

[esh]

Sadly I'm not... I really ought to get around to signing up for one. It's getting better now but we still have up/down periods at the moment. Did the monitor show this as packet loss? Anyone know the specifics of the problem? Is it peering or a router?

[Rik]

Some packet loss, but mainly a massive amount of latency. As far as we know, it was unbalanced loading to one of Telefonica's peering providers. This is live, so will change in time, but shows the latency issue, the outage, a second outage due to an IDNet router and then the line returning to normal.

[David]

No mail issues here at all but couldnta access the net so I am on LLU but alls fine now

[Simon]

No, mail is fine here too, and I also missed the router issue by staying in bed. 

[Ray]

Mail fine here too, I didn't seem to have been affected by the Idnet router outage either.

[Rik]

So you were both in bed, eh?

I think we should all stay there tomorrow...

[Simon]

Great idea...

[David]

I know we are close but all of us in one bed is a challenge and scary

Am I hurting you dear ?

03/02/2012 16:00   N/A   We have received reports for poor connectivity to numerous web sites from our network. We're investigating at the moment and will try to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. No ETR

Update 03/02/2012 17:00   The engineers identified the problem to be with unbalanced traffic to one of our peering providers.

Update 03/02/2012 21:28   The problem has been localized and isolated and its impact on the service quality should now be minimal. The repairs will continue during the night so the issue can be fully resolved.

[esh]

Looking good here now. Many thanks to Rik and Griff for the info.

I've also finally gotten around to adding a quality monitor for this line, since I lost my previous (internal) monitor when I swapped out the pfSense router over the christmas period.

[Rik]

Thanks for that, Griff.

[Lona]

I lost connection last night and the night before.  I was beginning to think it was my router but things are back to normal this morning.

[Baz]

For Steve can go back a bit further for you.Strange I didnt notice any difference on those days just today.

from 27 Jan and 2nd Feb

[Glenn]

What is todays like now, Baz

[Baz]

todays is

[Glenn]

That is much the same as Rik's

[pctech]

Just to put my tuppence in.

A peering issue with the BE network should have no effect whatsoever on IDNet because traffic is handed off to IDNet from the Telefonica LLU network via a tunneled session unless of course they have peering connections connected to a router that terminates LLU links and then directs traffic onward to wholesale customers where applicable and over its own peering where the customer is with BE although I would have expected to see a slow down in loading if the equipment's OS was being overwhelmed.

[Steve]

Thanks Baz , that's exactly the same as Rik's with evidence of an issue present for some time.

[Lona]

I lost connection last night and the night before.  I was beginning to think it was my router but things are back to normal this morning.

Same thing last night.  It's weird as it appears that I have a connection but cannot load any websites. It's not the pc as all pcs are acting the same.  I will have to phone Idnet tomorrow.

[Rik]

Phone today, Lona, that's effectively a no connection situation - though if you can get here, it sounds like an external problem.
