Did someone trip on the backbone?

http://www.internettrafficreport.com

There's some weird routing going on too. Anybody else see anything?

More likely it was a problem with internettrafficreport.com itself. I can reach a lot of sites without problem.

Well here is something to ponder on... If you could reach the website, how the hell could the backbones be down.. You should email them and ask hehe. :)

I admit it. I took the backbone down. I needed it for about 30 minutes. I'll send out an announcement next time.

Yeah, internettrafficreport went back to normal a few moments later, and it looks like they threw out the bad data, but since then we did lose connectivity to AT&T and Alter.net a couple times (at work, not the datacenter). Seems stable in the last hour now.


Thewitt: It's too early for the yearly Internet cleaning, isn' t it? I think that's in April.



Heh, maybe somebody had to make a phone call and unplugged it.
