Re: Has Level3 done away with traceroute??

[David Hubbard <dhubbard () dino hostasaurus com>]

I’m seeing the same thing across our Level 3 circuits, even if the traffic never leaves their network.  This was not 
the case as recently as two days ago when I had a reachability ticket open with them.  My SE says they’re having an 
internal issue that’s being worked on; didn’t provide detail.

    Hello All,
    
    Recently I was troubleshooting a network event for a client of our who resides on the Level3 network. While trying 
to verify the path, I noticed I am no longer able to traceroute through the Level3 network.
    The funny thing is this is not just isolated to the /32. It appears to be that the entire 4.0.0.0/9 network is no 
longer able to traceroute through. Everything dies on their edge network.
    
    This appears to be isolated to traceroute. I have check this in NA and EU.
    
    My carrier contacted Level3 who pretty much stated that they can’t provide anything.
    
    I have checked multiple looking glasses and other online tools and none of them make it. Even Level3 looking glass 
drops the packets.
    
    Does anyone know anything about this? I’m pretty sure this is the first time we are seeing this.
