Hey Mike,

I took a look and I did find a link that needed some attention. I have removed it from the path while the transport team works on it. Let me know if you are still seeing an issue.

Subject: AS7018 upstream loss via 32.130.88.22 (SF Bay Area) — per-flow, unidirectional

Seeing sustained upstream packet loss on AT&T Fiber (AS7018) in the SF Bay Area that looks path-dependent rather than congestion or CPE related. Posting in case anyone at AT&T can take a look, or has seen the same. Symptoms: Upstream


Seeing sustained upstream packet loss on AT&T Fiber (AS7018) in the SF Bay Area that looks path-dependent rather than congestion or CPE related. Posting in case anyone at AT&T can take a look, or has seen the same.



Symptoms:



Upstream collapses to ~2–5 Mbps on a 1 Gbps symmetric circuit

Downstream unaffected — 219 measured transfers, 0 failures

Host TCP counters show 5–14% retransmission on affected flows

Per-flow: back-to-back transfers to the same destination, differing only in source port, alternate between full rate and collapsed. Once a flow establishes it stays in whichever state it started in.



Affected destinations traverse 32.130.88.22 → 32.130.20.157. Destinations routing otherwise are unaffected (12 tested, 0 failures).



Ruled out: CPE (3 gateways, 2 models), plan tier (5G → 1G), optics (no DDM alarms, PON O5), MTU (0% ICMP loss at all sizes), Wi-Fi (wired throughout).



~650 measurements over 7 days. Traceroutes and per-destination breakdown available on request.



Anyone else seeing this on AS7018 in the Bay Area?
