Okay, I'll be the first… What's the story with Hurricane Electric today? It's been "browning out" for some time now.

You wouldn't happen to be in the North East, would you?

We've had two other reports from people on Bell Sympatico in Ontario. With info provided by one, I was able to determine the problem was a Telia link in Chicago. I've contacted the HE NOC and they confirmed that the Telia link in Equinix Chicago was saturated and they are working to upgrade the link capacity.

My node is totally unresponsive right now. Actually it comes and goes. Is this what you're seeing? How do you know it's HE? What kind of diagnostic are you using?

Just noticed that you have "Location: Austin" in the forums. Could you provide the output of a traceroute from you to your Linode? Even better, if you have a Linux box local to you, the output of "mtr –report $yourlinodesaddress". mtr is available in the mtr-tiny package for Debian and Ubuntu users.

That's exactly what I'm seeing, yes; it comes and goes, and when it comes it's really slow (~500ms pings). Tracing that route to he.net makes me believe it's a network congestion issue at the datacenter.

But don't let them think they got away without us noticing, Mike! :-)

I had assumed hop 13 here was in Chicago based on the path of the traffic from the other customer in Ontario. It seems from your traceroute it is more likely that it is in Equinix, Los Angeles. At any rate, this is the same router that the Ontario customers were having issues with so it looks like your problems are related after all.

My node is totally unresponsive right now. Actually it comes and goes. Is this what you're seeing? How do you know it's HE? What kind of diagnostic are you using?

Traceroute and mtr output is the same as what one would expect with a saturated link. This can be caused by a link not having enough capacity to handle normal surge traffic at the busiest part of the day. Another frequent cause is an outage of one link causing saturation of another link that is still up due to the much greater than normal traffic. Upon finding this I contacted the HE NOC and they confirmed that the problem was indeed a saturated link and they were working with Telia to get it upgraded.

Number 12 is a Telia router. Number 13 is an HE router. The latency and packet loss starts at hop 13 and continues. This indicates the problem is the link between these two routers.

Yay Quest for routing this the hard way - I'm right on I-5 and the trunk line to Mae West is buried 30 feet from my house.

After the network problems my node (on host56) is off, and I can't boot it. Boot fais with:

xen_linode_boot: failed to get domid
xen_linode_boot: warning - li-network might not have ran

But I can ssh to the host…

How about the other guys in the Xen host? Did you boot?
