After much lurking on here and tearing my hair out at the link being
down (again) I'm finally posting ;) For the past 3 days, each time
the link to the states has died i've tracerouted it from here
at the University of Newcastle and each time it's looked something
like this:
 
 1  cisco-mc-ucs (134.148.4.250)  0 ms  10 ms  0 ms
 2  un.gw.au (134.148.24.251)  10 ms  0 ms  0 ms
 3  nsw.gw.au (139.130.80.1)  480 ms  560 ms  450 ms
 4  * * ausnet.gw.au (139.130.91.2)  1160 ms
 5  * * *
 
Then they seemingly reconnect whatever it is that was connected before
and the link is back up, happy as can be. I don't know who is to blame
for this, and I don't really care. Someone, I don't care who, FIX IT!!!
this has gone on long enough. I haven't seen the link to the US this
bad EVER under the old AARNET management.
 
I could be wrong, it may not even be Telstra's fault. I'm sure it's just
coincidental that all the "upgrading" that is going on is really gonna
make things better for us all. Sure. *nods solemnly* i have faith.
 
ps. this has been going on for longer for 3 days, in various shapes
and forms since all this upgrading started. All I can suggest is
either fix what is wrong and keep the net down until it's fixed
so that you're not bring everything back online and then pulling the
plug 3 minutes later or.... get some people onto the job that know
what they're actually doing *rattles his sabre from his armchair position*
