So, I've been told by the UCSD folks that CENIC completed some maintenance involving the LA and Pomona routes this morning. It's perhaps wishful thinking on my part, but are folks still seeing packet loss? I have not been able to replicate the issue, so for now must rely on this list for debugging information.
Another possible data point that may be of use. SDSC's website www.sdsc.edu (132.249.21.111 ) should be topologically identical ( or near enough that it shouldn't matter ). If packet loss to this machine is significantly different than to 44.0.0.1, that points us to possible routing issues over a more physical issue.

Dan,
Please keep us posted on USCD's response. I'm experiencing a 30% packet loss to the gateway tonight and that's not acceptable. I don't want to make waves or cause trouble....but this is not sustainable. The packet loss started again tonight around 5PM (PST) and has so far made a complete mess of two of our DMR nets.

CAIDA/UCSD is beholden to random upstream filtering as much in 2001[1] and 2009[2] as it is now. And in-turn, AmprGW is/was beholden (2019) to an ethernet switch with customised firmware[3]... a blackbox.
I can answer this part, at least. The make and model is a juniper ex3300-48t. It is not running any customized firmware. Rather, the link drops down into a small vlan grouping with the link from UCSD, a link to the ampr gw box, and a port replicator. For whatever reason, when the ampr gw box reboots, there is a chance it takes the switch with it. usually, the switch just reboots, but sometimes it full on crashes and needs a power cycle.
It has been pretty stable recently, however.

In other news, I'm still waiting to hear back from UCSD. Keep in mind it is a holiday here, so it may be tomorrow.
