[Outages-discussion] [outages] Lightower/Sidera - NYC

This quote caught my attention: "Unknown to Coulson, Lightower had bought
Sidera Networks, another high-speed network provider, in April. Sidera was
another of OTC's providers, and when one network went down the other had
issues as well."
This is where organizations with critical services need to write into their
contract the requirement for notification of all business
mergers/acquisitions, etc, and also require annual certifications that the
primary and secondary links are physically and logical diverse, along with
credits or penalties if it's discovered otherwise.

Looks like it stopped OTC market trading for a bit.

Thanks James. I was told of some sort of packet storm causing the outage on
their MPLS network. Maybe these BPDUs have spanning tree going haywire.
Maybe they had to isolate some PEs from the network and all of us are on
those PEs?

This outage is still on-going. I spoke with an executive at LT earlier today
and the word then was that some downstream customer of the Sidera/ConEd/RCN
legacy network is leaking PVST BPDUs and its wreaking havoc on their
network. I'm not sure how legitimate that is anymore since its been several
hours. Apparently though, since our circuits are fluctuating up and down
every few minutes, it would seem they're not very close to resolution. We're
approaching the 12 hour mark for certain circuits.
They also don't seem to have any tools to notify/communicate with their
customers about the on-going efforts..and they don't tweet anything but
marketing crap. The management of this incident is asinine.
