ok, this is getting ludicrous. [ cut to the chase, if you are a non-US uunet/worldcom/mci customer, you can skip my diatribe and jump down to the bottom ] this is the third monday night when we have had a major BGP/connectivity outage with uunet.ca. two mondays ago, (ie 3 weeks), we had an 11 hour combined outage of either connectivity and/or BGP routing. this was topped off by them restoring the config from an old backup, including a slew of old static routes. last monday we had a 4 hour outage, similar issues. tonight, we got: 18:30 me -> uunet.ca: so, what's the problem uunet.ca: not sure, US-NOC is looking into it 19:15 me -> uunet.ca: any ETA? uunet.ca: problem solved, although the CPU on the router is 100% due to BGP recalc. should be OK soon. 21:30 me -> uunet.ca: so, what's the problem? uunet.ca: bad ATM card, been replaced, back up, although the CPU is 100% due to BGP recalc. should be OK soon. 01:30 me -> uunet.ca: so, what's the problem? uunet.ca: US-NOC is saving the configs customer-by-customer and will be rebooting the router RSN. no ETA. i'm not sure, but a lot of major problems seem to have cropped up since uunet.ca dumped their local technicians and went dependent on the US-NOC. are other non-US uunet customers getting the same treatment? -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ Don't be fooled by cheap Finnish imitations; BSD is the One True Code. ]
