We are also seeing several daily "batch" peer state flaps. The WorldCom NOC reports that @02:30 EDT they will be replacing several switches. Kevin McElearney MediaOne

Was the Mae-East reboot scheduled or unscheduled?

MFS seems to think it was scheduled, but I don't know anybody besides them who had heard about it beforehand.

What appears to be happening is that trunking between the switches appears to be intermittently failing (its the only explanation that I can come up with for suddenly losing all of the peers on one switch, and then getting them back a few moments later). I haven't seen any new problems with it since about 9pm PST (or is it PDT now, I can never remember) last night. When the connections are up it appears that the trunking between several of the Gigaswitches is saturated and needs to be increased. I am currently working on graphing packet loss and latency between my router and routers on other switches. (Yes, I know this isn't terribly precise, but its better than nothing).

I wonder if the congestion between the AMES site and the MFS site for MAE West will be cleared up any time soon. (Kudos to the NASA folks for god responsiveness on this issue, actually, I'll trust that they will get something done).
