enormous instabilities @ CA 0800 EDT daily?
I was looking over some trend graphs which I remember to look at from time to time and noticed that there recently has been a large level of instability between 7 and 9 a.m. Eastern (D.C.) time, with the worst period occurring at about 0800. The instability graphs that compute.merit.edu puts together shows a very similar trend, at least for the past few days. Is anyone else seeing this? If so, does anyone have any theories? I'd really like to see this fixed. Sean.

I'd really like to see this fixed. 1/ Brainless Managers come into work and power cycle routers, causing massive updates. - no flaws 2/ Network Engineers are coming into work at this time and modifying their routing policies because of visions their dreams gave them. - flaw: Real Engineers don't come into work before 10AM, and never work past 7am. 3/ Automated processes by NSP engineers on the West Coast process filter modifications and routing policy adjustments at ~4-5AM West Coast Time, translating to 7-8AM EST. - flaw: Hmm. 4/ Initial usage of the internet spikes ~7am, when office individuals get to work, causing high utilization, impeding routing updates, and causing oddness. - flaw: Routers should be able to handle it... *cough cough* None of these are based on empirical evidence, just creative thoughts. -a
