Hi:

It seems that FDC Servers Network is down, can someone verify that? I've done a traceroute, and the issue seems to be on the entry router of FDC Servers Network. I'm on Yipes.

Regards,
Carlos

Same issue here.

Box dropped offline about five minutes ago.

Whats the IP of the entry router?

Are they maybe switching to BGP 4 now they have XO in the mix?

BGP4 was only a paid option, and the stated no downtime would happen for the consumer who didn't want to pay for bgp4.

We will wait :)

Regards,
Carlos

Can't seem to reach FDC via Yipes or Cogent here, since around 6:40 CT.

XO isn't due for a few days yet, and you have to upgrade to be put on it, so probably its not on the same router?

If that is the case however, I'd have expected an email :<

Power failure?

Is someone near them to make a call?

I'm from Spain, and a call is expensive... but i'll call them if in around half a hour we don't know anything.

You have there number?

Back up, roughly.. 'now'

Anyone hear of what caused the outage?

I have servers at RS and FDC, here are some stats for everyone as of today:

RackShack:
From: June 19, 2003 09:17:00 AM
Till: August 5, 2003 08:39:00 AM

Total Minutes So Far: 67642 minutes
Network Downtime (minutes): 8 minutes
Network Uptime (%): 99.9882 %


FDC:
From: July 22, 2003 10:06:00 PM
Till: August 5, 2003 08:39:00 AM

Total Minutes So Far: 19353 minutes
Network Downtime (minutes): 90 minutes
Network Uptime (%): 99.535 %


I have a script running on each server to check if their own network is up (checks every minute). None of these stats include server uptime/downtime. I was unable to create a working server uptime script, only a network uptime script.

From their forum:

Our Yipes feed is currently experiencing minor packet loss problem which is attributed to a network problem between Yipes&Williams. They are aware of the issue and they are working on the problem

They were having packet loss before hand, and since they have more than one provider, this is interesting :)

From what i understand its
$99 / monthly for only YIpes
$150 for Yipes/Cogent/XO Mixed, but most of their customers are on Yipes only as of now :D

:)

with this... would we have 100% network uptime?

Most likely unless all 3 lines go down which is against the odds.

have they stated an exact date when xo will be available?
