Northern California Private Ethernet Transport Instability

Earlier this morning Sonic Engineers discovered some instability in the network that’s affecting Private Ethernet Transport services. At this point we’ve isolated the issue to traffic passing through some core network equipment in Santa Rosa. Network Engineers are actively investigating the issue. There is no ETR at this time.

Update: (Wed Jun 7 12:14 PM PDT 2023) Sonic is aware of some routing issues within the Santa Rosa area. Engineers are currently performing emergency maintenance on equipment in Santa Rosa in order to stabilize the network.

Update: (Wed Jun 7 12:52 PM PDT 2023) Emergency maintenance is still ongoing. This may impact some services including internet access, voice, and private ethernet transports as routing shifts across the network.

Update: (Wed Jun 7 02:36 PM PDT 2023) Sonic Engineers have identified and addressed the root cause of the original instability, however the team is still working towards restoring services that were affected during the emergency maintenance.

Update: (Wed Jun 7 04:21 PM PDT 2023) Sonic Engineers have been monitoring network activity and the situation has stabilized after the emergency maintenance performed earlier this afternoon.
