Interestingly, the customer has two sites in Lebanon - one that takes a
sensible path, the other that is taking the scenic route.
I suspect that the latter just hasn't been restored yet - but it makes
for a traceroute to chuckle at nevertheless.

FYI most routes are now back albeit on alternative paths so there
shouldn't be much ongoing issue to the region..

Co-incidentally, I've just been discussing this with a customer, and
have a trace from a router in Dubai going to Lebanon ... taking in a
global tour as it heads off to the East. RTT is approaching 400ms
and it isn't pretty :(
The past few weeks have certainly been interesting for anyone in
that region, or with customers there.

In Egypt a lot of these cables share the same infrastructure,
even the
same cable sheath.
So shared fate is inevitable.

Reports suggests EIG (Europe-India Gateway) and IMEWE
(India-Middle-East-Western-__Europe) were in 'maintenance mode'.
Very fishy.. ;-)

As will says many cable issues - falcon and flag seems to be on
for now but
this was causing chaos last week.

Hi all,
I apologise if this is the wrong place to ask but I was recommended
reaching out to the UKNOF lists after not getting very far in other
lists/forums.
I work for a UK company with a satellite office in Northern
India served
by BSNL. About 4 weeks ago our inter office latency doubled to
approximately 750ms. After some investigation on various UK
ISPs I realised
that they're all being routed via London -> New York -> Palo
Alto -> Tokyo
-> Singapore -> Chennai.
The return route from India was still Mumbai -> London fairly
directly as
it always has been.
Some time on Wednesday (27th) the route changed again. Now the
UK is
bouncing from London -> Egypt -> Mumbai. This is almost
normal but I'm
still averaging about 100ms higher latency than normal (I could
get under
250ms on a good day but more usually it was about 300ms).
At about the same time the return route from India changed
completely (its
now going Mumbai -> Chennai -> Singapore -> Tokyo -> Palo
Alto -> New York
-> London).
I'm fairly convinced its a BSNL issue but they're doing the
usual telco
thing of"it must be your fault." Is there anything I can use
to prove one
way or the other where the fault lies?
I have a handful of trace routes (attached) that didn't convince
them, so
where should I go next?
Any advice even if its to tell me to try elsewhere would be much
appreciated.
Regards,
Wayne
