Although there have been no reports or complaints of any issues, I’ve noticed some sharp bandwidth drops on the above servers – everything seems ok from here with no buffering on streams, which would suggest that one of the carriers to the datacentre is having network issues.

This is outside the control of the datacentre and may affect some listeners and not others – these problems only normally last for very short periods.

I’ve managed to do a traceroute from a location that is affected and it does seem to be an issue with a specific carrier (which is basically one of the many ISPs that the datacentre uses).

This is almost certainly being worked on but I’ve submitted a traceroute and relevant details to them.
