Yes, we have connections through Sprint, and they are having issues. They've told us it was a mud slide and a major fiber cut...

Sprint Problems?
by Crist Clark 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Having trouble getting anything out of our Sprint rep. Rumors of fiber whack. Problems out here in San Jose, California and in Texas, Waco vicinity. Hard to say whether some of our problems over the rest of North America are related to Texas and California or more widespread. Voice and data problems. Anyone have better info on what, where, and resolution? -- Crist J. Clark crist.clark(a)globalstar.com Globalstar Communications (408) 933-4387

Mud slides? Fiber cuts? What the heck? All my west-coast lines went splat a while ago... Erik Amundson A+, N+, CCNA, CCNP IT and Network Manager Open Access Technology Int'l, Inc.

Austin, TX has spotty sprint coverage, customers complaining of fast busy when dialing sprint prefixes. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Joe Blanchard Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 3:29 PM To: cristclearclark(a)globalstar.com; nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Re: Sprint Problems?

Weird PSTN issues anyone?
by Jay Hennigan 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

I'm getting reports of reorder and intercept recordings intermittently from wireless phones on multiple carriers to landlines and also landline to landline. Not enough data points to narrow it down much further and redialing seems to get through after a couple of tries. Calls originating in Dallas terminating in California. Anyone else notice the same thing? Fiber cut somewhere? -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay(a)west.net NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/ WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323

RFC 1219. Perhaps this falls under: "better documented" or "easy to find" or "not publicized" ? I'd be interested to see how many DNS hosting providers actually follow these themselves. Take EasyDNS for example (since they are on my mind, due to their GOOD service actually): easydns.com. 3600 NS ns1.easydns.com. easydns.com. 3600 NS ns2.easydns.com. easydns.com. 3600 NS remote1.easydns.com. easydns.com. 3600 NS remote2.easydns.com. NS1.easydns.com. 3600 A 216.220.40.243 NS2.easydns.com. 29449 A 209.200.151.4 remote1.easydns.com. 29434 A 209.200.131.4 remote2.easydns.com. 29428 A 205.210.42.20 CIDR: 205.210.42.0/24 NetName: SHMOOZE-NET prolexic/Prime Communications Ltd. DONBEST (NET-209-200-131-0-1) 209.200.131.0 - 209.200.131.255 NetRange: 216.220.32.0 - 216.220.63.255 CIDR: 216.220.32.0/19 NetName: Q9-NET1 NetRange: 209.200.128.0 - 209.200.191.255 CIDR: 209.200.128.0/18 NetName: PROLEXIC So, 4 ips, 3 ISP's 3 route objects... they seem to atleast follow some of the requirements. -Chris

net-op: traffic loads as the result of patching
by Sean Donelan 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

So, maybe an operational question. What are people seeing as far as network traffic loads due to WMF patching activity, e.g. auto-update and manual downloads? Microsoft has used several CDNs in addition to its own servers to distribute the load in the past.
