If anyone at NANOG has experience building Wavelan/RoamAbout wireless networks (specifically building a wireless bridged backbone), could they please stop by the back of the Imperial ballroom and see Jon or I. Thanks. - Craig ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Craig Labovitz labovit(a)merit.edu Merit Network, Inc. http://www.merit.edu/~labovit 4251 Plymouth Road, Suite C.

UUNet outage
by Joe Shaw 08 Nov '98

08 Nov '98

UUNet is currently experiencing a major routing outage and they have senior backbone engineers working on it. I thought it was funny that it wasn't in the recorded list of known network outages yet it's still an outage that they know about. Jeez. Anyway, we had several BGP sessions terminated here in our Houston POP and the UUNet tech believed it was in connection with the routing oddness they are trying to fix. So, if your UUNet connection is sucking wind, this may be the reason.

This came from one of our upstreams regarding the problems we've been seeing today.

We have open trouble tickets with Sprint, Cable and Wireless (formerly internetMCI), and Bay Networks (our router vendor). Our upstream providers have assured us that this is a major problem they are experiencing throughout their networks, and have open "master tickets" due to the volume of calls coming in. I will send out an update regarding this problem as soon as I receive more information. Thank you for your patience, --------------------------------------------------------------------- John P.

No,I didn't forget. I just have been unable to find time, so I am pushing them out now. They are not all there yet. I will try to complete before tomorrow. http://www.academ.com/nanog/june1998 Enjoy. -- Stan | PGP Key ID: 55CB6421 | Opinions expressed are only mine.

UUNET routing trouble (Sunday, 12:20est)
by mark＠vielle.datasys.net 08 Nov '98

08 Nov '98

UUNET is having routing instability throughout their backbone. I've seen bouncing of routers and more bouncing on my BGP session with them; our 3640 is quite taxed. Network status can be had at 800-900-0241, option 1.

Terminal Room?

I can't fine the terminal room. Where is it? (BTW: Wireless is working, but only under the elevators.

This may sound like a stupid question, but.....
by LadyDiana 07 Nov '98

Okay, I admit it. I joined this group after a copy of the Wired article about backhoes was forwarded to me. My friend forwarded it something as a joke, I believe...she certainly was surprised when I told her she had NO IDEA how bad that was, nor some of the OTHER reasons for interruption of service (shotgun, anyone?) I work in telephony network management/switch surveillance, and as the backhoes are surely a thorn in our sides (anyone know where I can get a T-shirt? Actually, about twelve of them...) I made the somewhat founded assumption that this was a somewhat like-minded group. However, I don't know the first thing about routers, LANs (other than when ours is down) or other COMPUTER Network related issues, I'm beginning to feel somewhat out of place. Does anyone know if there is a telephony network operators group out there? And how I could go about joining it? It's not that I don't like the company of you fine people, but I haven't the FOGGIEST idea of what the *HELL* you are talking about. And I really would dig being able to trade the sort of (obviously important, even to a computer network idjit like me!) information with people that speak MY language. Diana
