hello
howdy
good h`r`u
any admin online ?
up_the_irons: ^
up_the_irons: how are you?
what's up
up_the_irons: can i go to priv ?
yes
up_the_irons: mzima fucked up on the weekend again :/
yup, i can confirm that
jdoe: they had "emergency" maintenance and had to power cycle a switch to clear routing alarms.
up_the_irons: er, which part of that lasted several hours? :)
up_the_irons: how much for a reverse dns entry?
err, not what i meant
how much to point my ip to my hostname
put in ticket, magic happens.
i'm running on like 3 hrs sleep
i've had so many face-palm moments today....
jdoe: it didn't last several hours; I show traffic going in/out their circuit continuously throughout the weekend.  BGP re-routed to other circuits during the reboot.
i'd agree with jdoe up_the_irons - i lost connectivity to my VPS for at least four hours
possibly more - i went to bed (by morning (around 6 hours later)) it was fine
tracerouting showed it lost in mzima's LAX network consistently during that time
bob^^: not sure what to say, I didn't get any support requests regarding packet loss all weekend
maybe it's a separate issue, who knows
didn't affect me really so didn't worry about reporting it - however your website was down too
tbh i should have kept traceroutes :(
you'd think i'd know better tbh :)
i'm sure at some point i'm going to nix that circuit; their quality of service has just gone south
such a shame :(
if it happens again i'll gather all the usual stuff - i'll dig out all the proper stuff from our looking glass at the time too
thanks
bob^^: jdoe : where are you guys located?
right smack bang in the middle of the UK - problems from my home internet connection and also from work (where we run the whole ISP and peer etc etc)
i c
both ISPs (home and work) take similar paths, and both got into mzima's network then went dead at lax<something> within mzima's network
up_the_irons: dunno either, I've got a euro user, he couldn't connect for hours, traceroutes died in mzima. I certainly would have expected it to be routed around, but it wasn't.
guess that's the same issue i saw
at the time, to be fair, others in here had no rpoblems at all (presumably US users)
yeah. I'm NA, I never disconnected.
nor did I
it Just Worked
jdoe: bob^^ : sounds like the problem may have affected only EU users
just sent an email off to Level 3.  They gave me a good quote last year, let's see what they do now...
:)
I'd be a couple hops closer to everything anyway, since Mzima uses Level 3 a ton
as i say, if it happens again i'll do all the info gathering and fire it over - should be able to provide enough detail for them to work it out
yeah, our main transit provider uses l3 a load too
cool
up_the_irons: you've got me paranoid about changing the installs on my box.
lol
