Updates

MonitoringAS4837 is continuing to have very high congestion, there is no ideal alternative routes and we have not received an estimated fix date from China Unicom yet.

CMIN2 to China Telecom became very congested between 12pm and 2:20pm today (12th November), we'll re-route this to something with less packet loss during the same time tomorrow. AS9929 is continuing to have major packet loss to China Telecom for most of the day, therefore cannot be permanently used.
MonitoringFor AS9929, we have re-routed China Telecom to CMIN2, which is performing well.
We are continuing to monitor AS4837. It is suffering congestion daily during peak time due to the China Unicom backbone failure.
InvestigatingWe have been informed of an AS9929 backbone fault. China Unicom is investigating.
