2/12/11 Page Load Speeds

I am aware the site is now running very slowly. It is down to a network latency/packet loss problem between Level 3 and Colo4Dallas, where our server is located. The techs at Colo4Dallas are aware of the problem, it is datacenter-wide and they are thrashing to get everything resolved with Level 3. I received the last update on this situation approximately 20 minutes ago. I will provide updates as they are made available to me.

Speeds seem to be improving, however I have not yet received any updates from Colo4Dallas.

Just in from Colo4Dallas -

An FIB TCAM exhaustion issue was experienced this morning on the Premium Network. The initial incident resulted in a small number of routers entering a software-switched state. However, as the morning went on, this issue cascaded and required rolling reboots of our border routers.

At this time, the issue has been resolved.

FIB TCAM = Forwarding Information Base Ternary Content-Addressable Memory

Clear as mud, aye? :winkn:

If any of you have ever had to reboot a router to correct a connection problem, this is basically what took place at Colo4 this morning.

Ya, those darn FIB TCAMs will get you every time

The way I know when someone knows how to fix stuff is because I didn't even know it was broken in the first place. just the way I like it to work.:bubble:

Thanks,

Mike...Is this a special Indiana way of talking or did I leave Planet Earth last night and just don't know it yet? I do believe that You Are The Man! Thanks

All of that was handled by the techs at Colo4Dallas, the best datacenter out there, in my not-so-humble opinion. Take a look at the Colo4 Facility Tour. Hopefully this will help people see why I have chosen to partner with particular companies.
