London Internet Exchange (LINX) problems 10/12/09

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

RESOLVED: 11/12/2009 Peering sessions to LINX have now been re-enabled as issue has been resolved.

Due to some major problems on the main peering LAN (brocade) on the London Internet Exchange, NewNet (and some other providers) have temporarily disabled all sessions on that peering exchange on the affected LAN to prevent route flapping and blackholing.

All traffic will take alternate paths via other peering exchanges and transit providers, therefore no outage will be experienced by customers. However, certain routes may experience a slightly degraded service compared to their original path.

Please contact support.newnet.co.uk if you are experiencing any issues on your service.

Update 11/12/2009 Peering sessions to LINX have now been re-enabled as issue has been resolved.
