For the last couple weeks there has been a route stuck in the Chicago
wan/core that is directing some Minnesota-bound traffic through
Denver, even though Chicago and the Roseville, MN aggregation remain
up and directly connected. This has the dual benefit of unnecessarily
increasing the load on Comcast's internal backbone as well as
increasing latency for Minnesota subscribers connecting to "east of
the Mississippi" destinations by ~20ms.
I'm hoping Comcast engineers read this list, or someone in the carrier
community can help poke one of their Comcast contacts to help get this
resolved.
Thanks in advance!
"Wedged" route - 76.113.128.0/17
Correct route - 69.180.128.0/18
