The fiber cut in LA is not just Cogent. Many others that ride the same fiber path are impacted. Arelion/Telia is also showing similar problems.
That's gonna be a lot of tickets.
Many trying to reroute traffic right now. I think thats more the issue with Arelion and NTT. GTT still going okish in LA. But thats a real bad issue. Could become even worser....
Do they know what was the cause of the cut?
Is the Cogent Europe to Asia the same deepsea fibres cut in conflict areas from weeks ago? Or another new supposed terrorist attack?
I’m getting pretty nasty packet loss to my Europe boxes from Cogent LA onwards from here in New Zealand. Another ISP going via Arelion is fine.
Ahhhhhhhhh I'm sorry team at Advin Servers (probably wasting your time with my ticket trying to get traffic steered away)!
Seeing it from Miami VPS in Datapacket. Moment it hits the LA route that's it it's messy. From New Zealand, Sydney and Singapore.
It's pretty bad from my smokeping.
yeah same thing. AAE-1 is still down since feb
There's also a cut in SMW5 around Indonesia since April which will have some impact too. I imagine the number of active problems is making this noticeable rather than just a slightly different route.
Seeing crazy network problems around Asia on multiple providers today but so far not that many around California (but it is still nighttime in LAX, so that will probably change later). Another day, another mess.
network technician: "hey boss, you said we should de-peer with Tututata. But we have multiple connections with them in LAX and also on our Europe-Asia routes... How should we do that?"
Boss: " just cut the fibers".

well it's peak traffic hours atm (8pm SGT, 9pm tokyo)
The current network condition is very bad with several cables down in America, ASIA and Europe
I always thought this was not a coincidence.
I started paying attention to the news about submarine optical cables in February this year. The actual situation is that until April, first from Asia to Europe, and then from Asia to the Americas. I mean, this Looks too much like a tentative act of sabotage before war.
Perhaps I am being oversensitive
AAE-1, sure it was related with the war in the Yemen waters. AFAIK, they're not allowed to repair the cable till now due to dispute in ISP control.
SMW-5, reported cut in Singapore/Indonesia, both of which are neutral countries and not engaged in any wars with anyone.
I dont think there's a cut between asia<>us atm. pure fiber cut in the Los Angeles area
My focus is geopolitical, not so much about Singapore/Indonesia per se.
I mean, who is behind Yemen? Is cutting the cable just a bargaining chip, or is it meant to disrupt the current order and norms? And now, who can maintain the rules and order that have always been in place?
These question references and points are the source of my views.
You’re right, the situation in Yemen is very complicated. Cutting the cable might be a way to gain leverage or disrupt the current situation. Different countries and groups are involved, each with their own agendas. I am interested in where it's going.
at the moment, yes. so TeleYemen owns part of the AAE-1 cable, and for some reasons, TeleYemen is owned by the Houthis & the government(?)
The government-side doesn't allow AAE-1 repairs unless the Houthis are out of the AAE-1 consortium. something like that
