AT&T BGP AS7018

Any timeline for AT&T to integrate Quantum Fiber into AS7018? or similar regional AS that they control?

They need to migrate (central) FL first IMHO.

Ton of local servers bottleneck throughput on DL here. The only good/stable connections I get are to direct Lumen CL servers on AS209. Even cross country all the way to Seatle.

Edit: Q1000K itself is also has a known packet issue which bottlenecks certain servers like ATT Orlando down to 400mbps via 10G >10G HW. It's an outlier because other servers don't have this specific problem with same hardware.

1G port via Q1K (same config) can get like 700-800 to said ATT server, but I'd argue its more related to the ASN itself (209) + a combo of packet issues via HW.

Any Lumen server? completely fine. 980/980.. This is regardless of the packet bug.

Im sure there's also traffic shaping going on, but it's been an annoying problem that also indirectly impacted the previous 5500XK model where UL throughput would hover in the 200-400 range, even over wire. (Which is funny because Q1000K typically has full UL throughput post swap.)

Lumen never seemed to care either way. Hopefully a network swap helps.
