Is it just me, or anyone else having trouble getting through to the NAC network?

Here's what my traceroute shows

and that's where it dies :(

Their preforming "maintence". I've never seen a center that needed more maintence in my life...

They are in the process of ugprading their internal network and converting all their oc3's to oc12s.

Will that make better performace?

Advance notice would have been nice.

Yeah, but were looking at considerable downtime. Any estimates?

It is already back up. And believe me I hate how they don't give notice, I am going to be yelling at them on thursday about that.

yeah... notice would have been nice. But at least it wasn't down long :)

:confused:

Wouldn't it make sense to stop advertising routes to alter.net before performing maintainance on that part of their network?

I mean, BGP4 isn't all that great at routing around sudden outages, but it should be able to route around planned outages.

Right?

If you send me an email I will bring it to the higher power that be at nac.
