A pair of interesting web site outages
Normally I wouldn't consider either of these very interesting, but both happening at the same time has a slight operational interest. The web site www.atis.org is one of the locations the telephone industry stores its emergency contact information so carriers can contact each other. It is also the web home for the reports issued by the network reliability analysis process. The web site is currently down (4:30 EST) The web site www.whitehouse.gov is a well-known government site, containing a variaty of current event information. This web site is also currently down (4:30 EST). Both sites pass through PSI's Herndon, Virginia offices. I sent a few queries to people before sending this message, but didn't receive an immediate response. I assume its just coincidence these sites failed at the same time. But it was interesting how seemingly unrelated things can happen at the same time. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

'Nuff said... I guess the pidgeons that carry the packets on their network finally petered out.

Good luck getting any response. I reported that one of their peer sessions was down at PacBell. After several phone calls were made to determine the cause, the person on the other end of the line at their NOC said "Um, we don't connect to the pacbell NAP." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ML.ORG is gone.
