Uhhh, do all of you know that MFS is splitting the shared FDDI ring tonite (Fri nite / Sat early AM) due to congestion? rob. ---------- From: owner-mae-west[SMTP:owner-mae-west@nsipo.arc.nasa.gov] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 1996 5:12 PM To: mae-west Subject: MAE WEST outage notification There will be a short outage at MAE WEST Saturday morning, approximately between 12:00am and 12:15am. The outage should last no longer than five minutes. During this time, we will be splitting the shared FDDI ring at MFS into two segments, each on a separate Gigaswitch port. This should alleviate congestion on the shared FDDI which has been causing packet loss recently. Peering to and from some of the stations on the shared FDDI and switched Ethernet ports will be affected while the cables are being moved. Steve
