Network Status

12/05/02 - Root Cause for outage.

Starting at 4:32am Pacific time a network outage was recorded. The symptoms were severe packet loss to approximately 70% of our network and loss of connectivity to the other 30%. This outage affected T1, Dialup and some collocation customers in the San Diego ALGX facility. We have installed a more powerful processor into the Cisco 7507 and it has been moved from the border of the network. The temporary replacement router is a Cisco 12000 Series GSR chassis. We have replaced all physical cross connect cables that connect our core to our upstream provider. These include all DS3, Fiber and Fast Ethernet interfaces.

We have split the switching load from 2 to 4 physical switches. A Cisco case has been opened to expedite a permanent resolution to this issue.

We do not anticipate additional unscheduled service interruptions and we will be scheduling an after hours outage during our maintenance window to implement their recommendations.
