LAX.EB: AS9929 backbone issue. High packet loss was observed LAX.Pro: Due to the AS9929 issue, the inbound was also impacted. The overall quality reduced.
LAX.Pro:
China Unicom's inbound routing has been temporarily rerouted via the GTT network.
Latency and packet loss issues have currently returned to normal levels.
We will switch the routing back to the original path once AS9929 returns to normal operation.
Although the AS3257-AS4837 route has a bandwidth of only 200 Gbps and cannot guarantee zero packet loss like AS9929 premium routes during normal time, it currently represents a "better" choice, given that AS9929 is causing packet loss rates exceeding 30% on the China Unicom (CU) network.

Update from CUG NOC:
Territory backbone fiber cut leads to major capacity loss.
There are 144 of 288 fibers waiting to be repaired.
The repair is in progress.
ETR: unknowns.
*DMIT Notes: This fiber is between the cable landing station and L3 devices. It is highly possible that it is not owned by CUA. The repair process and updates should come from the local fiber vendor.

Los Angeles Major issue:
Widespread underlying fiber-optic cable failures affecting Cogent and Zayo have led to reduced network stability in the Los Angeles area.
Due to nested leasing arrangements within US Tier-1 backbones, the impact has extended to GTT and Arelion.
Packet loss has been observed on routes from Los Angeles toward the East (including Europe); the DMIT NOC has temporarily removed some of the most severely affected routes.
Some AS174 and AS3257 single home networks are not able to be migrated for network reachablity reason.

DMIT has isolated the issue, except AS174 and AS3257 single home network.
Nevertheless, Cogent's Los Angeles metropolitan area network is experiencing a severe outage, with some parts of the network unable to access the Internet at all.
Screenshot shows the reachability of DMIT's Cogent interface and the location of failure.
Since this issue has been isolated, traffic was divert to NTT, GSL, Arelion and GTT. DMIT will stop update the network status of Cogent.
Both inbount and outbount routes from Cogent are removed 8hrs ago, since it's unusable.
