Never thought I would be one starting such thread, but

did anyone else noticed that rackshack.net seems incredibly slow? My SSH connections to the server just die in the middle, and traceroute and ping to rackshack's network doesn't do well either.

Could this be the new GIG-E line that they are bring in?

7,157.130.155.234,480ms,savvis-dfw-gw.customer.ALTER.NET,----
that is the last hop I can hit, and its dog slow!

Not sure if that is what you wanted or not, but yes, they seem to be down.

They sure are down, their site isn't working for me:rolleyes:

RackShack is down WOW...

I never thought I would have the honor (or horror?) of posting such a thread. :rolleyes:

Any one has any news on what's happening? Is this the new GIG-E line?

Peter

I've been told cogent is down

and my sites are still working :)

/a.

Only prob with cogent being down is i have never had any trace go through cogent from here. Im in the dallas area, it hasnt been going cogent.

The last hop I can get to is:
14 207.173.115.74 290ms 270ms 280ms TTL: 0 (a4-0-0--171.gw01.hsto.eli.net ok)

working fine here, i'm on attbi, going to rackshack thru verio.

working for everyone again now? I got it here.

trace is going through savvis on near the last hop, that isnt ev1.

speeds down to 60ms now as well

[edit] add link
all of them seems ot have dropped.

Ok, my server is up again. Looks like everything is fine now.

Hopefully there will be an explanation on what happened.

Peter

I wish that happened with RackSpace while I don't have many clients, I'd have about 20% of my fee refunded right now.

(joking of course)

<g> if RackSpace was down and you got a refund then you would only be paying about 90% more still ;)

Of course, if they were down for long enough that they had to give a meaningful refund, you might as well switch to somewhere cheaper too.

I wonder what happened - looking at their network graphs today, it appears *all* of their connections were down at the same time with two interruptions.

I am also wondering what happened. There has been no annocement in the forum, and the interesting thing is, no other rackshack user started any discussion on the downtime either.

Peter

I am also wondering why the outage occured. Maybee we will hear something monday :)

According to easy monitor my site hasn't been down, but then again, it may not have caught it.

Since not a lot of people were down it sounds like it must have been a problem which affected only a small portion of their network with some customers' servers and their own server which logs the MRTG data. Otherwise I'm sure we would have heard more by now.

Have there been any official announcements for this downtime, as it seems a quite major from their graphs?

Is this due to their new lines coming in? Maybe someone dropped a wrench into the routers or something when adding the new lines? :)

Alan

only some subnets were down.

my 2 boxes weren't affected.

according to the techs on irc their NOC was aware of the issue.. thats the only "official" announcement ive seen

Actually, come to think of it... my boxes were fine too yesterday, lol.

Alan

Rackshack.net is down for me again today. Maybe its just me

Might just be you. :)... looing at their network graphs, everything has been running smoothly since the last downtime. Just wondering when they're going to release the graph for the new gigabit link and also those new servers.

Alan

Actually, the graph is now showing the Time Warner link did drop, at least if I am reading the very edge of that image right.

Yes, I concur amd_duron... it's showing a drop right at the end now, but the network was fine when vibehosts was asking :). These downtimes on certain lines must be due to the new providers coming in... but anyone want to confirm that?

Alan

I disagree, you guys posted hours and hours after I claimed them being down and they were down I asked 5 different people. Of coarse hours after I saw them being down they were back up
Thank you
