[#685] Darkfiber outage NZS - EQX-AM7 (Status)

Posted: 2018-07-25 11:14

Start: 2018-07-25 10:30:00

Affects: Redundancy NZS

At 10:30 CEST a darkfiber between NZS (Nedzone Steenbergen) and EQX-AM7 (Equinix AM7) went down, carrying 200 Gbps traffic.

Currently all traffic is sent over the alternative path on our ring namely NZS - GSA.

We have contacted the darkfiber provider Eurofiber and were notified that currently one of the fiber paths is damaged and that crews are looking for the exact breaking point.

Update 13:25:

Currently the darkfiber is online again. The root cause of this issue is still not known, but as this line has been stable for the last two hours, we will be closing this case.
