There is a large Global Crossing (GLBX) outage in New York. It is affecting all customers coming to Junction Networks via the GLBX network. We are attempting to re-route traffic, but the issue is inside their network. They are still advertising routes to Junction Networks (and others) but not routing the traffic. We have escalated the issue with GLBX.

Routing issue resolved (7:08pm EST)

The Global Crossing routing issue has been resolved as of 7:08pm. Global Crossing has been completely removed from our BGP routing tables as a peer which has resolved the issue. About 5% of our customers were affected by this outage. All inbound and outbound traffic to those customers was interrupted. Service is now fully restored.
