Our Internap DS-3 circuit is down in NY. InterNAP can't call the circuit out to Verizon, because Verizon isn't doing any testing or dispatching currently. It could be a few days till this circuit comes back. We are moving to our other providers at different geographical sites currently. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Lockhart [mailto:simonl@rd.bbc.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 1:42 PM To: Daniel Golding Cc: deeann mikula; Charles Sprickman; Avi Freedman; nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: Horrible world trade center crash, traffic effect
The problem seems to be site limiting, rather than network limiting. i.e., news sites are being overloaded, which is causing slow or no response to http queries due to either server overload (my guess) or news site transit link overload (also possible). This is what seems to be causing lacking of response to news sites, instead of generalized network or peering congestion.
I can concur. Network running fine (busy, but not full). Servers *very* busy. I am amazed how few network outages in NYC I am hearing about.
