Slow access to NZ sites

Anyone else getting reports of slow access to their sites from international locations. Connected to both "T"s, but suspect "Telstra" as they were screwing with their international cache yesterday.

Telstra peering pricing.
by Simon Lyall 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

Little article here by the usual suspect: http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/UNID/B67C1AFC59BD060FCC256EC900164A26?O… "According to several ISP sources who did not wish to be named, a month's megabit-per-second-level connection of TelstraClear's Domestic Internet Service will cost $160 plus GST. Purchase of TelstraClear circuits will also be required. " It would be interesting to see at what bandwidth the link will be worth getting, for small ISPs the circuit cost will probably mean it's just cheaper to use either their existing International link or another domestic provider to deliver the bandwidth. Even for larger providers the revenue is only going to be one or two thousand per month each. Not much to compensate for pissing everybody else off. And the larger providers will have plenty of options like sending Telstra customers like Waikato University bills to route their traffic nationally. -- Simon J.

This is the formal reply from TCL on a email I sent them two days ago. Last Sunday morning between 0100-0600 during the regular planned maintanance window we upgraded 90% of the IP Networks' access switches to a new version of code. The main reason for this upgrade was to introduce software into the core switches that would support 'hitless upgrades' upon the next release of processor cards. This feature added resiliance to the IP Network in that we could upgrade software on the core switches and customers would not notice any outage. During the course of Sunday day/night there were a number of customers who appeared to have unrelated issues and engineers worked through the evening to resolve these. On Monday morning, when most customers started work, other network faults were reported. Along with some unrelated issues, it also appeared that there were issues with regard to the software upgrade on Sunday morning. About 12% of IP customers were affected with software issues related to the upgrade. After further diagnosis, it was decided to roll back to the previous, known good, software version of code on the core access switches in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. This was achieved by around 11am Monday morning and appeared to help restore service to affected customers. >From that point on, it was decided to work through all known affected customers with issues and rollback the software on the affected switches that they are connected to. This work carried on through the day on a case by case basis. This process will continue, as required, and engineers will work with any further affected customer. While the above is occuring, engineers are working with suppliers to resolve the issues and then a plan can be devised to complete the upgrade. We regret the impact this has had on customers. Significant steps were taken prior to the software change to avoid this happening. It is important to note that this version of GA (or General availability) code had gone through extensive testing in the TelstraClear IP Lab and had been running successfully online in parts of the Network for several weeks.

> Value their jobs ? It's company policy to NOT advertise major outtages > ? I'm more referring to current outtages, if anything. LET PEOPLE KNOW. I know departments in large provides that have a policy of not advising of planned outages, let alone unplanned (not implying that this is TC's). The techs/helpdesk in companies in companies that do not provide full information they are usual following their company policies or guidelines (or working with what they at the time). If techs/helpdesk doesn't give out information for policy reason, in my view the best people to try and change with this with are your account managers.

>>> Drew Broadley <drew(a)corrupt.co.nz> 6/07/2004 4:37:28 p.m. >>> >I'm sure there are quite a few TC technicians on this list, why do none >of them announce it on here ? As has already been commented, I'm damn sure they aren't allowed to comment publically on the issues like this - and this list is actually public. A more reasonable lament would be to wonder why on earth their helpdesk was left to make up excuses when the TC knew about the problem very early and were already working through a plan to resolve the issues. I know that I would have felt MUCh happier with "We have a known problem with some core switches - it doesn't affect everyone but is affecting a lot of people. We're executing a rollback to a known good configuration. I can't give you a specific ETA on return of service for you but we expect to have 95% of the affected customers back online before 3pm", than I was with the "We've got upstream provider problems I think" The only difference between the 2 is a 5 minute email to the helpdesk staff from those in the know.

Should be all good now. no front panel controls and 3 STBs use the same remote. <sigh> at least I got the weather for next few days. (missed tomorrow, of course) There is some blocking artifacts due to satellite reception at the moment. This is also the cause of the occasional hue. Tomorrow we will try and put up some alternate bit rates for you to try as well as making the web pages a little more coherent.
