The NCC has recently learned about a number of European routing
changes implemented around July 1st. An incomplete list of these
is (in no particular order)
- termination of the EASIGATE T1 link CERN-Cornell
and re-homing of the link to Washington DC as an
EBONE link
- US connectivity from GARR/INFN to the US moved from
the CERN US link to a link between Italy and ESnet in
the US
- intra-European connectivity to/from GARR/INFN moved to ?
- several bi-lateral agreements to exchange traffic via
EuropaNet
- starting gateway traffic between EuropaNet and EBONE
Since then the NCC has had a number of enquieries about observed routing
instabilities. Partly these were due to link failures complicating the
situation. The upshot of all this is that the European routing situation
has changed quite a bit and you should expect instabilities and unusual
routes. If you experience reachability problems or poor performance you
should contact your service provider.
