We are currently investigating recent reports from customers experiencing higher than usual latency, packet loss, and/or intermittent connectivity when traversing certain network routes in our New York datacenter region.
Our team has performed a thorough review of our infrastructure side, and at this time we have not found any evidence of any hardware or software issues within RackNerd-operated infrastructure.
Based on our findings so far, this appears to be route-specific and may involve upstream network paths outside of our direct infrastructure, or potentially a core distribution router issue upstream at the datacenter. As such, we have escalated this matter to our upstream network providers for further investigation and review.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and work with our upstream providers toward resolution. Further updates will be posted here as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
UPDATE: Our upstream has acknowledged our report and confirmed the issue, and this is being looked into by their Engineering team. We will provide additional updates as soon as we find out more details.
UPDATE 6:39 PM PDT:
We are seeing improvement and from what we can see, progress is being made, though we are awaiting final confirmation from upstream before calling this resolved, as we believe they may still be actively working on addressing this issue.
We will provide additional updates once available -- until this incident is marked as resolved you may experience intermittent connectivity or degraded network performance.
UPDATE 8:00 PM PDT:
Our upstream provider’s Engineering team is still actively investigating and working on the issue. While we have observed periods of improvement, we are not yet ready to mark this incident as resolved, as some customers may still experience intermittent connectivity, packet loss, or higher than usual latency depending on the network route being taken.
We are continuing to monitor this closely and remain in communication with our upstream provider. We will post another update once we have additional information or confirmation that the issue has been fully resolved.
Thank you again for your continued patience and understanding.
