Gamma's Ethernet service experienced a complete outage lasting 9.1 hours due to issues with PXC core network switches, which caused LDP sessions to fail and prevented L2 circuits from establishing. The incident affected the general network infrastructure and was resolved through collaboration between multiple engineering teams, hardware supplier support, and core switch reboots. Services were restored and monitored for stability, with the incident remaining open for additional monitoring to ensure no further issues arose.
Based on the latest monitoring, we believe the fault has now been resolved and services are stable. However, if this is not the case for any of your circuits, please contact the Faults Team accordingly and we will address these on an individual basis. This incident will remain open until 6:00pm while monitoring continues. Thank you for your patience throughout this work.
