The remaining sites were restored by approximately 21.30hrs and shortly after midnight. A detailed report is being prepared and will be published by 5:00pm today. We apologise for any inconvenience this issue may have caused<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the time of writing Entanet has still not said what caused the incident, although a recent service status update from London based colocation and server specialist <a href=\"http:\/\/coreix.net\" target=\"_blank\">Coreix<\/a> might shed some light on the matter. According to Coreix, an investigation was opened at around 5:45pm after the ISP noticed &#8220;<em>an inability to contact certain locations<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Coreix Service Status (Network &#8211; IP Transit)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We have completed our initial analysis of the network issue and it is as follows:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1. At approximately 5:45pm we noticed an inability to contact certain locations and started to investigate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>2. We disconnected LINX, LONAP and ENTA within 5 minutes as it appeared that there was an issue with one of these providers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>3. This did not solve this issue as anticipated and issue became worse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>4. At approximately 6:30pm the ENTA edge router to which we connect went down and full connectivity was reinstated (we where not connected to it at this point per point 2). It is our belief at this point in time that ENTA suffered from a serious route leak on their systems and was falsely advertising other companies routes. This caused the internet in general to send traffic to ENTA rather than Coreix<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Entanet has promised to release an official statement later today and we shall update accordingly.

Services are said to have been &#8220;<em>stabilised<\/em>&#8221; at around midday and the operator is currently working on a proper fix.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that the past 12-24 hours have been somewhat of a double whammy for Entanet and any of those affected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 1:48pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It took awhile but Entanet has now published a full <a href=\"http:\/\/noc.enta.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Incident-Report-21032013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Incident Report<\/a> (PDF) for the primary failure that occurred last night. A short-ish summary of the event follows.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Incident Report &#8211; Short Summary Extract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>At approximately 18.30hrs on 21st March 2013 we became aware of loss of service to a large number of customers, which appeared to be spread across all sites and services. Our systems and network team was immediately engaged and senior members of the team attended our Telford HQ to aid with the diagnostics and resolution. Initial investigations indicated that whilst we were able to see that the network was available internally and we could contact individual devices on the core, any layer 3 traffic was not flowing into and out of our network at any of our access points.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">DSL<\/a> based customers also experienced issues as they were also unable to pass traffic, or after rebooting their CPE, were unable to authenticate with our services. &#8230; The cause of the issue was traced at approximately 19.15hrs when our engineers identified a TCAM memory overrun in one of our core router logs. This indicated that the core routers were seeing excessive BGP routes, hence the overrun.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The immediate action taken to rectify this problem was to correct the edge BGP filters between our lab equipment and our core. This is now in place and will remain indefinitely. We are currently reviewing whether a double level of filter can be introduced as an extra layer of protection and will implement this when possible<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The communications provider has also apologised for the &#8220;<em>major incident<\/em>&#8221; and pledged to undertake a review of their incident management, which could result in &#8220;<em>the introduction of a logically separate NOC service and the transfer of our support desk to an alternative phone solution<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the second WBC related outage that occurred this morning appears to have been resolved, although Entanet are still moving traffic around the related line card until they&#8217;re satisfied that the fix is working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entanet, which supplies broadband and telecoms services to a number of ISPs and businesses across the United Kingdom, appears to have been hit by a serious network outage last night that resulted in a larger number of customers being left without internet access for several hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[404],"class_list":["post-2934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-entanet"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
