Hi All,

Is anyone else seeing increased latency to Cloudflare since this morning? Looks like it's going offshore, I'm not sure of the usual path..

Is this for the 1.1.1.1 resolver or to the 1.1.1.1 website? All domains on Cloudflare or just these?

Sorry, I see it is a traceroute so not to website but to server. What do you get to Geekzone? What do you get on geekzone.co.nz/cdn-cgi/trace?

I see the trace on Geekzone shows AKL but trace https://1.1.1.1/cdn-cgi/trace shows SYD

GZ IPv6/v4 latency, it's more than doubled.

Same here on 2deg. I wonder if it's just a temporary thing, maintenance or something.

Can confirm from 15 different 2degrees connections up and down the country...

Cloudflare in Auckland seems fine, we (Prodigi) are still getting routes over AKL-IX and a couple of other providers have tested are also hitting Cloudflare over the IXes so probably maintenance of the bilateral peering between 2degrees and Cloudflare, as Cloudflare doesn't peer with route servers which is resulting in the best route being the one Vocus announces to MegaIX Auckland. 2degrees AKL-IX connection is fine though as I'm connecting over that to our servers in Auckland :)

Disclaimer: I know nothing about the 2degrees network, so I'm just guessing :)

The good news is, 2d only dropped back to latency as bad as sparks peering with CF.

I'd say dan is on point, was very much the same conclusions we drew...

@hio77 was a terrible 24 hours. I don’t know how people on Spark cope with such bad latency! 😏
