Softlayer/Network layer partial outage in Asian region?

Seems like Softlayer/Network layer having rouitng glitches in Asia. Their prefix 216.12.192.0/19 is not working in South East. Route goes till Singapore router and times out there. traceroute to hostgator.com (216.12.194.67), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 router.local (192.168.1.1) 1.576 ms

Re: Softlayer/Network layer partial outage in Asian region?

No issues in other parts of the south east. But interestingly I just circled around the globe to reach the destination you mentioned as per the ptr. traceroute to 216.12.194.67 (216.12.194.67), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 124.29.233.141 (124.29.233.141) 0.303 ms 0.413 ms 0.442 ms 2 ge-1-
