Connectivity Issues - Google Routing Problem via LoNAP


2017-10-18 11:41:01 - Resolved


2017-10-19 10:56:41
On the 18th October 2017 LoNAP (one of the primary UK Internet peering exchanges) experienced a problem on their switching fabric causing forwarding table instability and subsequently large packet loss to many destinations on the Internet for many UK service providers. At 11:17 our monitoring systems detected high packet loss to Goggle’s network. Investigations were undertaken to determine the source of this packet loss. We determined that our primary route to Google (and some other destinations) was via LoNAP. Fastnet have multiple upstream connectivity partners, and so as a precaution we shut down our LoNAP connections to route traffic elsewhere. Network stability was fully restored at 11:45. During this period we received a notification from LoNAP engineers stating that they were investigating a problem with their switching fabric, however we had already moved the traffic away from the exchange. At 12.59 we received a further update from LONAP to say that they had identified and secured a problem in the Harbour Exchange datacentre which was causing forward table instability on their network which they were continuing to monitor and investigate. Fastnet sessions on the LoNAP exchange will remain shut down and traffic routed elsewhere until we receive notification from LoNAP that the incident is closed.

2017-10-18 12:11:24
Fastnet engineer's have now stopped routing all traffic via LoNAP. All services are now running without any issues. Please contact Fastnet if you're still experiencing any difficulties.

2017-10-18 11:41:01
Fastnet engineers are investigating reports of reachability issues to Google via LoNAP. We have shut down our links to LoNAP for any Google traffic which has rectified the issue for now. We will update again shortly.
