Since 8am, we've seen a rising amount of customers going down. It's been attributed to them turninf off thier equipment. The local Bell Atlantic DSC claims that 'hundreds, maybe thousands of circuits are down,' mostly due to customers turning stuff off. Everyone else seeing this?
We advised our customers to place loop back plugs on the T1's That way circuit monitoring software won't go to crazy. Most of our clients have shut down there mail servers and have asked us to route mail to /dev/null instead of queueing it.

Yes. We sent out a survey to find out who was going to do this in advance. I'd say we caught about 80% of the self-disconnections this way (so far). Ryan Brooks ryan@inc.net Alex Rubenstein wrote:

I've got 30 or so dedicated wireless customers who are down because they shut their servers off today. So far all the hardwired T1 customers are up. -- Joseph W. Shaw - jshaw@insync.net Free UNIX advocate - "I hack, therefore I am." On Fri, 31 Dec 1999, Alex Rubenstein wrote:

You're surprised? Those purveyors-of-ignorance known as the US news media, have been selling y2k-doom ever since Monica Lewinsky quit smoking cigars. If they can do something like move the millenium aniversary up by one year, then surely they can convince people to shut off their routers for no reason. 20% of our customer frame circuits are down, and about 30% of our dedicated-dialup customers. Mail bound for these sheep is now accumulating in large quantites at their backup MXs (our smtp boxes). Bill

This type of behaviour has been reported across the globell. In London, the were reports of traffic 20-40% lower than normal.. folks were just not online.

I guess our customers aren't that silly. I did notice some big sites down though. I tried to check a price with Tech Data earlier this evening and found that www.techdata.com didn't exist. Traceroute to their nameserver(s) techdata.com. 2D IN NS NS1.techdata.com. techdata.com. 2D IN NS NS2.techdata.com. NS1.techdata.com. 2D IN A 169.153.202.40 NS2.techdata.com. 2D IN A 169.153.202.41 ends in a CW routing loop suggesting TD shut off their connection for the evening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| Spammers will be winnuked or System Administrator | nestea'd...whatever it takes Atlantic Net | to get the job done. _________http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key__________
