Issues Connecting an AT&T AVPN Network to my Existing MPLS at Core

Hi reddit,

I have been tackling a strange issue for quite some time and I am about to pull my hair out of my skull. I have a very robust MPLS network with 3 hospitals on it that has virtually no issues. Recently we have been asked to extend a network to a hosted application in a datacenter in Chicago.

AT&T is sunsetting MPLS networks and could only bring up a new AVPN link since it was out of state so I have both the MPLS and AVPN routers connected to my core switch.

The issue seems to only be traffic to and from the datacenter in Chicago on the AVPN and one of the hospitals here in Oklahoma on the MPLS.

AT&T has looked at each circuit muitple times and cannot find any trouble with either circuit.

The only device outside of my control is a sonic wall firewall at the vendor end but they claim since testing between our hub site and their end is fine that the issue must be on my end. However AT&T claims that it's at the CPE in chicago.

I've added a shaping policy to the 100MB interface to shape to 95% average of 100MB but that did not seem to make much of a difference.

Site A - 1GB Connection to AT&T MPLS Cloud (gig1/26)

Site A - 100MB Connection to Site C (gig1/25)

Site B – 1GB Connection to MPLS Cloud (gig2/1)

Site C – 100MB Connection to (Site A)

Speeds from Site A to Site B = Full Gig

Speeds from Site A to Site C = Full 100MB

Speeds from Site B to Site C = only getting about 25MB (single iperf stream)

Speeds from Site C to Site B = also only getting about 25MB

Pings between Site A to Site B = constant

Pings between Site A and Site C = Constant

Pings between Site B and Site C = dropping 1 in every 25-30 pings

Pings between Site C and Site B = also dropping 1 in every 25-30 pings

Links between the MPLS Sites and the AVPN site are under less than 10% load so it does not appear to be a bandwidth issue on either link.

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue or have any advice?
