Contacting UUNet results in them telling us that their > legal department is working on a press release... i just called UUnet, and basically asked nicely "what happened on monday, around 5pm...?" the support person looked at the logs for my links, and said that they appeared stable at that point. i pressed a little more "don't you have any network status reports for monday? did someone trip over a switch or something?" he said, "oh yah monday! someone nuked some routing tables, that's right...like 50,000 customers were out, our call queue was crazy!" the "phone-sex-voice" will get answers out of anybody. ;) deeann m.m. mikula When I called, they first said that there was a BGP peering problem, and the answers got more vague from then on. I didn't try the phone-sex-voice though. Maybe I'll do that today!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Froutan Email: [email protected] Rackspace, Ltd <http://www.rackspace.com>
