Hi @websquadza,

I trust you are well,

Please assist with ticket 951550

This has been ongoing since the beginning of the month, and I haven't seen any headway. Please intervene.
 
Hi @websquadza,

It looks like IPv6 broke again? The packets do arrive at the destination, it seems the return routing is broken.

traceroute6 -l -I websquad.co.za
traceroute6 to websquad.co.za (2c0f:f030:6040:2::75) from 2c0f:f030:201:401:dd:e7ff:fef7:850a, 64 hops max, 20 byte packets

Apologies for my delayed response here, missed this one. I'll follow up to see what happened here.
 
Hi @websquadza ,

It looks like IPv6 broke again? The packets do arrive at the destination, it seems the return routing is broken. Like the previous time:

Thanks, checking on this to see what could be causing it. Seems to be IGP updates, but shouldn't be an issue.

Should work fine as you're breaking out of CT, and we've updated your allocation to match. Still no update on Frogfoot breaking out of JHB. Commercial team is looking at a solution, but essentially some broken commercials FF side holding this project up.
 
CPT

Weird, am able to access from here as well as our CT testing VM. Please PM me your IP if still ongoing?

I wonder if it's not an outage on their CDN or something.


Some people can't load it, but others can.

Will re-enable and test later
 
Just had net drop for us,Randburg (Fourways) Openserve - anybody else? I know there's area-wide electrical maintenance but usually Openserve stays up

Looks like it might have been something localised. I've checked and we have sessions that are north of 29 days in Randburg and surrounds.

It could have been, different connections load balanced to different CDN nodes?
