Downtime

Ben_S · January 19, 2005, 08:26:39 AM

Just a heads up for anyone wondering why the site is up and down at the moment

Quote from: dedicatednowOK here is what happened. MCI went down, (we have been having some service issues with them). And BGP failed over to nlayer, but all traffic going over nlayers peers went fine. Sometime between when nlayer got turned up and when MCI went down, GBLX dropped our routes. This is what caused the downtime. We had to issue an emergency update ticket to gblx through nlayer, to restore connectivity.

In the coming week(s) we hope to be turning up above.net and possibly Level(3). In addition we have completed our dark fiber ring connecting, Clifton, with 111th 8th ave and 165 halsey in a fully redundant ring, with IP transit out of each location.

If they had BGP routing like they say they do, the traffic would have almost seamlessly taken other routes.

Depends on what ISP you are on. They apparently lost one route in the datacenter and the traffic didn't get rerouted to another link. So, depending on the path your packets take across the net, it may or may not have been accessable.

Trekkie101 · January 20, 2005, 12:33:16 PM

Ben_S · January 20, 2005, 12:34:37 PM

2 - 6, nah thats just dead time since everyone is in bed, I meant after 8 AM and between 12 and 2PM (GMT) when no traffic flowed.

Trekkie101 · January 20, 2005, 12:44:33 PM

Blimey Ben,

NoRad · January 21, 2005, 07:02:04 PM

Yay, I never lost connectivity.

Ben_S · January 22, 2005, 03:22:13 PM

About 130 not including backups

NoRad · January 23, 2005, 05:33:36 PM

That's not bad considering how many users I see on her all the time.
