Monitoring

Over the last hour, our monitoring systems detected intermittent BGP session flaps with one of our transit providers (Tata Communications) at our EQX PoP. We decided at 14:36 to gracefully disconnect Tata at this site until they have clarified and resolved the root cause. This issue originates outside of dataforest's own network.

During the initial flapping and subsequent route convergence, minor packet loss or brief timeouts may have occurred on individual paths. As the majority of our traffic is routed via direct peering and other transit providers, the overall impact was minimal.

The Tata ports at our DRT PoP remained stable throughout.
