Bandwidth East Coast Issues

We began detecting issues with Bandwidth Inbound and Outbound Voice and SMS starting at 19:00:38 UTC (3pm US Eastern Time).

Can someone ask bandwidth to stop accepting the invites so we can move on with our dial plan.? On Sat, Sep 25, 2021, 9:42 AM Peter Beckman via VoiceOps < voiceops at voiceops.org> wrote:

Agreed. But remote now ... Calls are completing now on bandwidth. But we will remove them from the deck. On Sat, Sep 25, 2021, 10:34 AM Peter Beckman <beckman at angryox.com> wrote:

After a long silence, no updates other than "we're working on it." Update - Bandwidth teams continue to investigate Voice and Messaging Failures. At this time, 911 calls are not impacted. Customers may also experience portal and portal API time-outs, slowness, or unresponsiveness. All teams are working towards a resolution at this time. Sep 25, 16:22 EDT We are still seeing some calls get through. SMS traffic is being delivered faster and we have not seen any missed SMS messages. Worst SMS delay was 9m 37s. Last 5 tests in the last 50 minutes were all under 21 seconds, 3 of 5 were under 2 seconds. About half of our calls getting through are Canada DIDs.

Another Update Update - Bandwidth teams continue to investigate Voice and Messaging Failures. 911 calls are experiencing failures. Customers may also experience portal and portal API time-outs, slowness, or unresponsiveness. All teams are working towards a resolution at this time. Sep 25, 16:34 EDT Our monitoring cleared our Inbound SBCs as of 20:34:24 UTC (4:34:24pm EDT) as they are now responding at an acceptable rate. I just tested outbound and got a call through to a Verizon Mobile, though the PDD was about 5-6 seconds. Inbound seems to be working, albeit a bit slower than expected. Seems like we're on the path to full recovery. Beckman On Sat, 25 Sep 2021, Peter Beckman wrote:

Our measurement of the outage was 3pm to 5:47pm US EDT, 2h 47m outage. 19:00 to 21:47 UTC We haven't completely determined whether or not this was a full or partial outage, as we still saw some calls come in, but termination had issues as did SMS delivery for a portion of the outage period. Latest BW Update Update - Bandwidth continues to see portal and network improvements. At this time, messaging traffic is processing as expected. We continue to work to resolve other impacted services. Sep 25, 18:42 EDT On Sat, 25 Sep 2021, Peter Beckman via VoiceOps wrote:

Our monitoring cleared our Inbound SBCs as of 20:34:24 UTC (4:34:24pm EDT) as they are now responding at an acceptable rate. I just tested outbound and got a call through to a Verizon Mobile, though the PDD was about 5-6 seconds.
Inbound seems to be working, albeit a bit slower than expected.

We are still seeing some calls get through. SMS traffic is being delivered faster and we have not seen any missed SMS messages. Worst SMS delay was 9m 37s. Last 5 tests in the last 50 minutes were all under 21 seconds, 3 of 5 were under 2 seconds.
About half of our calls getting through are Canada DIDs.

I just looked into all the big wholesalers, and they all have terrible peering policies, and are rarely at public exchanges even when it would be trivial *looks at Inteliquent and Equinox Chicago* this is kind of embarrassing for the industry.

I understand. Serious customers will pay for a PNI. Industry partners (other large telcos with whom they exchange a lot of traffic) will get a PNI because it is more reliable/higher bandwidth/etc. An IX presence may help customers who send voice traffic over the internet, but I suspect those customers make up a small percentage of any given telco's revenue. So, there's no incentive. Same reason NTT/Telia/Lumen/etc. won't peer with you over an IX. Why would they, when they can sell you transit?

PNIs need backups. Unlike most data, voice cares about latency, so if your Ashburn PNI fails, now you're routing via Dallas (for instance), which may be an unacceptable increase in latency, jitter, packet loss, etc. With SIP re-invite being fairly common, just because you have a PNI for your signaling doesn't mean your RTP follows the same path. NTT/Telia/Lumen/etc. won't peer with you over an IX because the traffic volumes to qualify for peering are enormous and usually inappropriate for IXes. Well, that and protectionism. Also, for them, the Internet *IS* the product. For a voice provider, the product is the voice service, the Internet is incidental. The primary concern of IP peering for voice providers is of data integrity, not cost avoidance. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross Tajvar" <ross at tajvar.io> To: "Mike Hammett" <voiceops at ics-il.net> Cc: "Paul Timmins" <paul at timmins.net>, "VoiceOps" <voiceops at voiceops.org> Sent: Monday, September 27, 2021 1:38:32 AM Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Bandwidth East Coast Issues On Sun, Sep 26, 2021 at 5:24 PM Mike Hammett < voiceops at ics-il.net > wrote: I have IXes in areas where Inteliquent and Peerless have POPs.

Minor and unrelated semantic quibble: ?SIP reinvite? is not synonymous with ?media path handoff? or ?not anchoring the RTP through my network?, though it?s often improperly used that way in the industry. A re-INVITE is just an INVITE message inside of a SIP dialog, rather than outside of one (the latter sets up a new call). It can alter parameters of the dialog (call), including media attributes (like endpoints, codecs, etc), or something that is purely related to the state of the SIP dialog (e.g. remote Contact (?target?)). So, while it is indeed common to use a reinvite to hand off the media to external sources, i.e. ?why don?t you two send RTP directly to each other now??, that?s only a very small subset of what reinvites can do, and the two are not fungible at all. This has been an update from protocol formalities pedantry, and you may now return to your regularly scheduled programming of using words in that normal way where everyone understands what you mean just fine? :-) ?

Hope they find the culprit and get it fixed quickly!

third. and our monitoring picked up packet loss to their IPs. Hopefully not a DDOS or if it is, they are better prepared to mitigate it than voip.ms.
