Thanks for the responses. Transit pings work fine, it is directed pings at router interfaces in the backbone that I'm seeing problems with. I have been contacted by someone from GTE and will handle this offline, unless someone else is seeing issues and wishes to continue the thread. Thanks again for the replies!

No sign of this problem pinging to or from the bits of gtei's Florida links I've got systems (via mae-e or mae-w). ping shrike.parview.com ...

There are domain problems everyday of the year. CI Host issued a press release yesterday, they had data problems with their nameservers related to some construction in their computer room. It is not related to Y2K. On Fri, 31 December 1999, Blake Willis wrote: > A few (perhaps 2%) of the domains I've looked up today aren't > resolving.

GTEI Filtering ICMP Echo/Echo Replies?
by Martin, Christian 31 Dec '99

Happy Y2K to all! Looks as if GTEI has begun filtering ICMP type 0 and 8 (I hope that's all) through their backbone. I heard that this was because of DoS threats, but I haven't seen any other commentary on the subject. GTEIs NOC claims that they have made no changes. From some places I can get through the network, but others fail. CERFNet and others are clean. Traceroute works fine everywhere. Has anyone else seen anything similar? Regards, Christian

Hi! This is RADNET's NOC from Rahajasa Media Internet in Jakarta, Indonesia. We have passed the roll-over for almost one hour ago, and seems that there is also no trouble on Y2K related issues in Indonesia. Major IX, ISPs, Telco and DNS servers are working fine. Thank you. -ip- At 01:03 01/01/00 +0900, =?iso-2022-kr?Q?Jongwon_Kim=28=D1=D1_=F1=A3=EA=AA=29?= wrote: >Hi! >This is KORnet NOC from Korea Telecom in seoul ,KOREA. >It seems there is no trouble related Y2K in Korea. >Major IX, ISPs, Teleco and DNS server working fine. > > >On Sat, 1 Jan 2000, Kunihiro Ishiguro wrote: > > > > > It seems there is no trouble related Y2K in Japan > > Major IX, ISPs and root DNS server working fine. > > > > Happy Millennium > > -- > > Kunihiro Ishiguro > > > > > -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > KORNET Network Assistance Manager(Centural O&M Center) > - Voice : 82-2-766-5902 -Fax : 82-2-766-5901 > -E-Mail : knight(a)kix.net > ==================================================================== > >

A few (perhaps 2%) of the domains I've looked up today aren't resolving. It appears that several hosting companies have turned off their nameservers until after this Y19100 foolishness is over. cihost.com is one of them. I wonder if their customer SLA covers this. It seems that this reaction is a lot like what many predict will happen to phone systems: the date rollover doesn't break things, panic does. Has anyone on the list shut down any equipment as preventative maintenence, and if so, how have your customers reacted? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Willis AboveNet Communications Senior Engineer - European Operations blake(a)above.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lights stayed on!

It's 00:05:00 here (or thereabouts) and the lights have stayed on, TV is still broadcasting on UHF, the phones still have dialtone, and there are no immediate (obvious from the outside) IP backbone issues in the three main carriers' networks. Phew :) Joe

Off-topic: Y2K Frenzy at the Grocery Store
by Andrea Abrahamsen (Di Lecce) 31 Dec '99

31 Dec '99

All, Thought I'd share with you the amusing adventure of grocery shopping on December 30th, 1999. While reading this, it is entertaining to note that things will be 10x worse tomorrow. DISCLAIMER: My hubby and I were *NOT* shopping specifically for Y2K. We were shopping because it was grocery day, and since we both wanted steak and garlic bread for dinner, we had to go out and get it. Ok, so we drive up to the grocery store and park WAY far away from everyone else. This is a common habit, as most people do not understand a fundamental law of physics: Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time (this does apply to car doors, contrary to popular belief.) We walk into the grocery store. No bagels. Well, no problem, they probably ran out. It was 3 hours before closing time anyway. Off to the bakery wall. Picture this: Rows of shelves, piled 10 feet high, spanning across a long wall, approximately 20 feet long. NO WHITE BREAD. I nearly got flattened by a store employee, pushing a dolly with approximately 20 empty plastic bread-holders. Dang ! It was either settle for some 6-million-multi-grain, crackle-in-the-toaster stuff, or come back a week later. We decided to return next week for bread. We still have 1/2 a loaf left in the breadbox. As we walked down the carpet cleaner/air freshener/etc aisle, we noticed a frenzied man manoevering his shopping cart between people's carts, barely missing at least two backsides on his way. We figured he was trying to be the first one to the exit if the whole place blew up. I wondered if he worked in the computer industry. We made our way up and down the aisles, noting that the store wasn't quite as busy as it was on Christmas eve. As we passed the shelves with the Scarios, Chef Boyardee and other such canned pasta delights, we were faced with an unprecedented sight: the shelves were almost completely empty !!! In normal circumstances, not many people eat this stuff, because to be honest, it sucks ass. But people had bought it by the case. Only a few straggling cans remained. I pitied the poor kids that will have to eat this stuff for the entire month of January. What else was almost completely gone from all the shelves ? The best cookies, and almost all the tuna. The brand-new Y2K AND BEYOND GOURMET MEAL - Scarios, cookies, and tuna. Bring it on !!! There was an ample supply of Pepto Bismol and Tums in the pharmacy section. Something tells me people will need to stock up on THOSE, too. Enjoy, Andrea. *********************************************************** Andrea Abrahamsen (nee Di Lecce) (416) 935-6485 SMC Platform Specialist, Network Operations Rogers Cablesystems Inc. 1 Mount Pleasant Road, Toronto, M4Y 2Y5 ***********************************************************
