Any ideas what is happening to Alternet's backbone?
Anyone have any info on Alternet's outage? We have had to shutdown several interfaces to Alternet routers in the Washington DC area as they appear to have been blackholing our packets. Calls to their NOC have not been able to gather any further information. --curtis -- Curtis Generous generous@uucom.com Phone: (703) 461-1350
We just got word from them, major hardware problems on the East coast, not expected to be fixed until later tonight.

This is taken from their ops web page. I don't know much beyond this... June 16, 1997 UUNET is currently experiencing hardware problems within our Chicago, Newark, and Washington DC hubs. This is causing routing instabilities across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. All traffic attempting to pass through the Chicago, Newark, or Washington DC hubs will experience difficulties. Customers can expect to experience service interruptions throughout the evening hours until UUNET has resolved this problem.
