Path.net Drama 2.0 - 5 or more Exchanges suspend them for unpaid bills.
Making this thread because the last one was shut down due to unrelated chatter. No more leaks in this thread, only confirmed public information.
Path is now suspended from at least these:
DE-CIX Frankfurt
DE-CIX Dallas
DE-CIX New York
DE-CIX Phoenix
NYIIX
Can be confirmed from lg.he.net
Context: Path.net employee asking about the issue.
Context: Active Server notifying their customers of the issue.
Hallo,
der Protection Anbieter Path hat sich ohne vorige Ankündigung vom Knotenpunkt DE-CIX abschlaten lassen aus vertraglichen Gründen.
Unsere BGP Session mit PATH ist somit ungeplant offlien und kann über diesen Weg auch nicht wieder aufgebaut werden.
Eine kurzfristige Lösung sieht der DE-CIX aktuell mit PATH nicht, sodass wir als Leittragender mit unseren Kunden hier in der Luft hängen. WIr haben PATH um Lösungsvorschläge gebeten ,was bisher noch keinen Erfolg hatte.
Wir sind hier bemüht alles wieder so schnnell es geht zum laufen zu bringen, wir bitten hier bitte noch um etwas GeduldMit freundlichem Gruß
Hello,
the protection from path has been terminated on DE-CIX without any warning due to contractual .
Due to this our BGP session with PATH is down, and we cant re-establish it.
de-cix does not see a short term solution, leaving our customers hanging.
We asked path for a solution, but did not have any success yet.
We are trying our best to find a solution, please stay patient.Best regards,

Let's keep this one clean of personal harrashments.
Cards are redistributed. A great power will be born
What is the practical effect on their services as a result of this termination?
Downtimes, worse peering, higher pings, less bandwidth, loss of reputation for one.
For the record, this info was first posted again in that cesspit discord, so no leak was a source this time I believe.
Fake. Path.net is the best and always pay on time. Stop shitposting @stefeman
A path employee showing private data? Without any consequences?
dudes probably not been paid in a real fucking long time
The truth will set you free!
Practical and immediate effect is loss of capacity for ddos mitigation. As more peers is lost the smaller capacity will introduce longer routes. For game servers this is catastrophic.
I’am waiting for tree smoker for more intimate details on this…
What did you expect?
Death threats
They've involved a lawyer over clicking the "Thanks" button on LowEndTalk before.
My comment was in regards to a Path employee leaking stuff.

Can confirm that our Path.net-only prefix is not visible from neither.
Fixed TL on the Active Server email:
@labze you might want to read this.
Comedy gold, 600Gbps of capacity poof, gone, erased. Time to start cooding.
Interesting
That was foreseeable, the question is how long it will take for the rest to pop - I would consider alternatives, I'm glad we ended this drama some time ago - it didn't work well anyway.
I would love (and plan) on getting the basics setup, but its mega hard to setup something good. But I will let you know when I have something basic working.
We already have our own eBPF XDP solution active
I mean considering that they have massive outages every other week I don't think they'll hold up for much longer. Also I'm certain their mitigation capacity dropped massively with 5 IX's gone.
Pogman, that is good to hear.
600Gbps is massive, and they had an outage today in Amsterdam. Ain't looking good.
More than half a Terabit gone just like that. I'm honestly surprised that hostings are entirely moving away from them like Avoro or Vibegames did.
This was necessary simply because of the enormous number of complete failures we had with Path. Some of the support was really non-existent, they were not prepared to adjust anything.
AMS-IX also down.
15 days for now.
We only did this because of one customer, but he was so unhappy (not with the filters, but with the failures) that we developed something ourselves. In any case, Vibegames still has a lot via Path
