Hi All,
Looking at my BQM last night there was a period of packet-loss followed by a period on increased latency (from 0200-0300)

What is odd is that Roger_Gooner on here despite being at the opposite end (ish) of the country - has exactly the same thing at exactly the same time!
Does anyone know what would cause this?
Cheers

I noticed that on my own BQM, and a couple of other live BQMs in the forum, although they weren't all showing EXACTLY the same start time. It would seem likely from the implied phased impact and small hours timing that it was a planned traffic routing change whilst some piece of internet equipment was changed. You can see it isn't altering the peaks which are mostly the last mile DOCSIS connection, but it is increasing the minimum latency by a regular 5ms. That change might be on VM's network, it could be internet traffic routing to the TBB servers, or even maintenance on the servers themselves involving load shifting to an alternative DC say 40-50 miles further off.

There's been a few of us at different parts of the country that suffered 4 distinct drops between 0300 and 0600 hrs on the 15th Sept

Yep me too. Resegmentation perhaps?
