Elevated latency to the Gulf states from AMS
Network — transit & peering — AMS
Timeline
-
Resolved
Latency to the Gulf states is back to its usual level. Duration: 1 h 14 min. Throughput was not affected; only the round trip on that path was.
-
Monitoring
The direct peering route has been re-announced. We have removed our preference and are watching latency settle.
-
Identified
A peer on AMS-IX has withdrawn its direct route to the Gulf states and traffic is taking a detour via Lumen. This is a routing choice on their side, not a fault on ours. We have preferred Arelion for those prefixes, which brings the round trip back within 10 ms of normal.
-
Investigating
Round-trip times from AMS to the Gulf states are 29 ms above their usual level. The path goes over AMS-IX; nothing has changed on our side. We are checking whether a peer has moved traffic onto a longer path.
