BellNexxia to C&W problems in NY ? (AS577 - AS3561)

  • From: Mike Tancsa

I have a few users exchanging data with sites inside Bell Canada call in to complain today with various symptoms (eg. VPNs timing out, transfers taking a long time). After a bit of narrowing down, it would seem that when the traffic comes at me via C&W from Bell (2 of my 3 transit providers 852 and 6539 talk to parts of Bell this way) the problems are acute.

Looking at traceroutes between C&W and Bell IP space, there does indeed seem to be some issue between their exchange point in NY

At one point in the day, it was adding about 400 to 500ms of latency
