Re: Latency / Packet Loss to Cloudflare

I was seeing a lot of packet loss to 1.1.1.1 earlier on this evening, but it seems to have gone away now.

Re: Latency / Packet Loss to Cloudflare

Aggregate stats from 4 VM users here, all showing packetloss to 1.1.1.1 and 212.250.14.2 this morning indicating cloudflare issues again.

2 of the users are on RFoG, 2 on HFC, across the country (southwest, london, east anglia)

Re: Latency / Packet Loss to Cloudflare

I'm back with packet loss, trying to do anything on the web is painful, timeouts because of DNS problems.

I'm temporarily switching DNS to 8.8.8.8 until this problem with cloudflare (again!) is cleared up.

Re: Latency / Packet Loss to Cloudflare

The issue doesn't seem to actually be with cloudflare, given the losses to 212.250.14.2 (which is inside VM's network). It's an internal VM network issue that impacts cloudflare.

That's a red herring, that node is either rate limiting ICMP, blocking them as it thinks there's a DDOS or just treating ICMP packets as low priority, you can see there's a bump in latency to that node before it drops down to the final node.

I've left it capturing for last hour or so and here's the last few minutes of data.

Glad to see it's not just me, but slightly frustrating the same issue has returned

You say that, but I have been running monitoring for weeks and the packet loss to the VM IP is only when there is also packet loss to Cloudflare.

So maybe that gateway is just running hot or something, but either way the issue seems to be VM's to me.

Seems to be VM's last hop before handing off to cloudflare, wonder if Virgin have all their cloudflare peering running through a single endpoint...

Yeah, sorry I wasn't clear, what I meant was don't take too much stock from that hop because it always looks funny. The issue last time (a few weeks back) was a VM fault so it's most likely it is them.

Also if you run back to back traceroutes to a destination with a 1s delay you'll quickly see that Hop 2 starts dropping ICMP packets.

Re: Latency / Packet Loss to Cloudflare

It's been wonky all evening, browsing the web was a miserable experience of page timeouts.

Suddenly though, all packet loss has stopped. The same thing happened last night.
