Since the previous post we have seen the effect of Microsoft's patch Tuesday die down and also the broadband network is now back in balance.
We also lit a new segment of capacity as announced here:-

Monitoring of the network over the weekend has shown no major traffic spikes and an even spread of customers across the platform.
I might just go back to RIN for a while

BT Wholesale have recently encountered a problem that has led to the complete loss of connectivity for all users connected via one of our 622Mb central pipes.
Any customers connected to the gateway known as pte-ag2 will have momentarily lost connection to the Internet.
These customers will be able to reconnect almost immediately, however the problematic pipe is not currently accepting new sessions. This is likely to result in the remaining pipes becoming congested which could cause speed and performance issues as we head into peak time.
We are returning Service Status to amber in the anticipation that our network will be running in High Demand Operation both tonight and over the coming days whilst balance is restored.

The pipe still isn't accepting sessions either so we could be in for a bumpy ride this evening. BT Wholesale have confirmed that an MSH link is suspected faulty (this is a core link between superpops). They have also confirmed that it's affecting multiple ISPs.
There's not a lot we could've done to have prevented this one.
Dave's made some traffic management changes to help protect the integrity of the network.

Quote from: Oldjim I tried to get onto one of the less cluttered pipes and it wouldn't connect so I am now on RIN
Jim, Hope it's not a silly question but what is RIN?

It's the same network as BT Retail customers use.

You are currently connected to the "Telehouse North, Juniper 6" gateway. This gateway is sometimes known as thn-ag1.

This is not normal, so I assume it is related to this pipe being knocked out. Just wondering if that's intentional/expected?

I'm not sure if this was due to stupidity or to a desire to treat all licence payers equally.
(It is necessary to use a Ruby script for it to work currently (for me), although I'm sure it would be possible to write a firefox plugin to do the job).

Quote from: Jameseh I think you might be misreading the graphs.
Entirely possible!
I was looking at per-gateway graphs for Plusnet 7 and 8, which around 21:00 last night show gold drops happening (rare in itself). A couple of hours later (and after I'd posted) we see significant bronze drops.
Plusnet 3 and 6 show gold and quite a lot of silver at that time, but no bronze until much later.
