Our SSH session to servers in Dallas at ColoUnlimited went down a bunch of times tonight.

Been down for a few minutes now, but ColoUnlimited seems to be fine and online (as per our remote monitoring).

13: xe-0-3-0.er2.iad10.us.above.net 31.584ms asymm 16
14: xe-2-0-0.cr2.dca2.us.above.net 50.197ms asymm 16
15: xe-0-2-0.cr2.iah1.us.above.net 61.545ms asymm 17
16: xe-1-2-0.cr2.dfw2.us.above.net 63.815ms
17: xe-0-1-0.er2.dfw2.us.above.net 52.881ms asymm 16
18: 64.124.193.221.available.above.net 59.155ms
19: no reply

Is anyone else seeing an outage with above.net in Dallas area?

Hmm odd.

I just did a tracert to my gear at ColoUnlimited and noticed that my route changed. Went from using Above.net to something called "iptransit.com".

I am not familiar with iptransit.com.... Florida based company.

See them in at least one traceroute from Chicago in the past --- but shows up seemingly in Dallas Fort Worth area.

Maybe they are back hauling traffic via iptransit from a peering point?

Noticing any difference in route length or times?

Still sitting on above.net on the way in to Colounlimited from me location here.

@benj,

Thanks for the traceroutes.

To everyone else, better look at your routes for iptransit.com appearing.

They are a backhauling company to peering points.

Saw a doubling of total time involving a route that went via them to ColoUnlimited. Hopefully, this isn't where things are headed
