Zeon: It looks like their Core Router 1 crapped out during an upgrade. Luckily we are on Core Router 2:

Seems a bit odd that they would have a single point of failure like this.

I am not a network a network engineer but shouldn't good redundant network design with iBGP and OSPF prevent this kind of thing.

Yea not so sure about how they do it. It seems they statically run customers off different routers. When I talk to them about it, if we wanted to leverage both routers we would have to run a direct BGP session with them.

Whereas a new connection with Unleash in Wellington they do that themselves automatically and have a thing called VRRP I think which means we only need a single gateway address.

Anyway hopefully getting APNIC soon!
