iSTAR Outage
by Lyndon Nerenberg 16 May '97

16 May '97

Anyone know the cause of iSTAR's network outage in western Canada yesterday? Our ISP (who gets their connectivity through iSTAR) didn't seem to know much about what was happening. The best I could make out was that there was a problem with the link between Calgary and Vancouver. I'm curious about two things: 1) Why didn't the traffic reroute over the Calgary-Toronto pipe, and 2) Can we expect to see more downtime this weekend?

That reminds me, I've seen spammers using SMTP route-addrs, which would create this multi-hop effect through multiple relays. -- Scott Hazen Mueller zorch(a)wenet.net +1 415 281 6550 x269 Vice President Engineering, Whole Earth Networks (Hooked and The Well)

Did you call the 800 number or the hotel direct? I called yesterday to the hotel for one of our staff and got the rate for the meeting with no problem. As mention before the 800 number was not giving the NANOG rate. Please call the hotel if you still have a problem let me know.

Clueless is the operative word. Bet whoever sent you that message dropped (or was thrown) out of law school and is that sophomoric stage of learning about computers and 'the net' where their 'Big Brother' complex shines through.
