Re: Internet Issues in the US - Possible Backbone Issue
#43Too funny -- I diagnosed this to L3 on my home net this morning and I found myself saying "I wonder if anyone else has this issue?". When it comes to the backbone providers there is no Twitter account or status.level3.net or status.theinternet. Hard to do when everything is decentralized. I usually go hit NANOG when stuff like this happens but you're not guaranteed to find something real time there.
Out of curiosity, what do you do to diagnose something like this? What tools and commands?

http://www.internetpulse.net/ and http://traceroute.org/ are two sites I used in addition to the usual unix tools like traceroute.

trace route is nice BUT mtr is better. Mtr does averages on latency at every node and any lost packets.

many providers also host "Looking glasess". Its a server hanging off their core network that allows you to run pings and traceroutes
http://lookingglass.level3.net/ (seems to be down currently)
a nice big list of looking glasses
