ThousandEyes: Cogent outage part of a larger BGP route leak

Last week's outage at a Cogent data center in London, which disrupted some Whatsapp traffic, was part of a larger BGP route leak, according to an updated analysis from ThousandEyes.

The disruption had nothing to do with the Whatsapp service itself, writes Archana Kesavan, but was the result of a major BGP route leak by Swiss colocation provider, Safe Host. Her analysis indicates that "Safe Host leaked thousands of prefixes which had a cascading effect on the availability of those services when the routes were accepted and propagated by service providers, such as China Telecom, and then further accepted by other ISPs such as Cogent."

Dell'Oro: SP core router market fueled by 100GE adoption

The worldwide Service Provider Core Router market grew 7 percent year-over-year in 1Q 2019, according to a recently published report by Dell’Oro Group, driven by telecommunications and cloud operators upgrading networks with 100 Gigabit Ethernet technologies.

According to the report, 100 GE router port shipments hit a record level in 1Q 2019.

“Network operators are benefitting from lower prices of 100 GE products to add capacity to their backbone and metro networks—the volume of 100 GE port shipments almost doubled year-over-year,” said Shin Umeda, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group. “Demand for core routers was strong in the Asia-Pacific region and in Europe, more than offsetting lower sales in North America,” added Umeda.

Additional highlights from the 1Q 2019 Router & Carrier Ethernet Switch Quarterly Report:

  • Cisco was the top-ranked Service Provider Core Router vendor, followed by Huawei, and Juniper.
  • The Service Provider Edge Router market increased 2 percent year-over-year, showing some early, yet modest effects 5G backhaul upgrade projects.

Dell’Oro: Slowdown in cloud CapEx growth

A slowdown in cloud CapEx growth rate weighed on the Data Center Switch market growth in 1Q 2019, according to a new report from Dell'Oro Group.  The year-over-year growth of Data Center Switching revenue fell below 5 percent for the first time in almost five years.

Some highlights from Dell'Oro's 1Q 2019 Ethernet Switch – Data Center Quarterly Report:

  • 25 GE and 100 GE composed about half of the market revenue and two-thirds of shipments.
  • 400 GE shipments continued to ramp for the second consecutive quarter, albeit driven mostly by Google.
  • 100 GE ports are expected to nearly double in 2019, while the 400 GE refresh cycle is not expected to have a material effect until 400 GE optics become available in 2020.

“The deceleration of Cloud capex spending started in 2H 2018 but appeared more severe at certain Cloud Service Providers (SPs) this quarter. However, our analysis of Cloud capex indicates that the second half of this year will grow at a higher rate,” said Sameh Boujelbene, Senior Director at Dell’Oro Group. “Despite this deceleration, Arista, one of the vendors with high exposure to Cloud SPs, managed to gain share to capture 20 percent of the North American market, while Cisco was the top-ranked vendor with more than 40 percent share,” added Boujelbene.

IDC: Server market revenue up 4% in 1Q19

The worldwide server market increased 4.4% year over year to $19.8 billion during 1Q19, according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker.

Worldwide server shipments declined 5.1% year over year to just under 2.6 million units in 1Q19.

Some highlights from IDC:

  • The overall server market slowed in 1Q19 after experiencing six consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth although pockets of robust growth remain. 
  • Volume server revenue increased by 4.2% to $16.7 billion, while midrange server revenue grew 30.2% to $2.1 billion. 
  • High-end systems contracted steeply for a second consecutive quarter, declining 24.7% year over year to $976 million.

"Demand from both enterprise buyers and hyperscale companies purchasing through ODMs was less voracious than in previous quarters; coupled with a difficult compare period from a year ago, this impacted the pace of market growth during the first quarter," said Sebastian Lagana, research manager, Infrastructure Platforms and Technologies at IDC. "This was most evident in declining unit shipments during the quarter, although year-to-year average selling price (ASP) increases supported revenue growth for many vendors. As long as demand for richly configured servers supports further ASP growth, the market will offset slight declines in unit volume."
