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

MFS mentioned to me earlier that they were going to be making a decision as to when they would be doing work following an assessment of todays stability. (Tonight vs. Saturday) They also mentioned that the problems we were seeing with Mae-East bouncing was a result of problems with integration of Giga 6. I was just told now by their customer service center that tonight at 4AM Central they will be reinstalling trunk cards between Giga 4 and 6 which were disabled last night, and as a result, we may bounce one more time. Right now I'm concerned about the packet loss between sides at Mae-West (which varies during the day between 5 and 15 %). -G

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). ************************************************************** Justin W.

I know 3 MAE-East customers who knew about it beforehand... But all 3 were working on their MAE connects and thus were talking with the MFS engineers within a few days of the work... Avi
