Dallas Latency / Potential Network Attack

[VOIPoTim]

We're currently seeing internal latency at one of our datacenters (The Planet) in Dallas which is causing some of our servers to have issues connecting to our core database servers.

The Planet is working to correct these network issues as quickly as possible.

These are located in a "high priority" zone of their newest facility so we expect network conditions to return to normal very shortly.

This looked like it had subsided earlier, but has returned.

Here is an example of what we're seeing internally:

1 81.83.84ae.static.theplanet.com (174.132.131.129) 12.887 ms 12.961 ms 13.026 ms
2 e1.fe.5746.static.theplanet.com (70.87.254.225) 0.378 ms 0.433 ms 0.494 ms
3 92.fe.5746.static.theplanet.com (70.87.254.146) 1544.017 ms 1544.252 ms 1544.461 ms

It's very intermittent and one trace will be all less than 1ms and then this. The Planet assures us they are working to clear this up as quickly as possible.

We don't know at this point, but it's potentially related to some type of network attack with effects flowing over into other customers.

Yeah…. A very clear-cut, distinct and detailed answer from Timothy, just as usual. What else to expect? And the problems go on… and on… and on…. and on…. (this is with regard to my PAP2T lost registration today http://forums.voipo.com/showpost.php...8&postcount=77 ). One issue it heroically fixed and another one starts. You know, Tim, people like the way you explain why they got a service interruption. So, please, keep talking.

Very nice stason99. Maybe VOIP isn't for you. It is the Internet you know.

So, if the PAP2 is completely unregistered, rebooting probably won't change that, correct?

Just leave it alone and it will register when it can connect ?

Well, it'll attempt to re-register every 5 minutes.

If you reboot it before then it's possible it'll register right then vs waiting the entire window.

We're at about 98% of the registrations before this was detected and they're still increasing every minute so it seems to be clear now.

Go ahead and try a reboot then. It shouldn't be that long.
