Advanced Warning: Qwest/Lucent ATM upgrade
- From: Sean Donelan
- Date: Fri Mar 23 14:29:24 2001
Routing may be weirder than normal this evening. Qwest is upgrading
their Lucent ATM switches to fix a bug, and needs to shutdown their
entire ATM backbone for a couple of hours. Qwest hasn't responded to
my e-mails asking what is happening, but other ISPs have outlined
alternative routes they will be using. Most will try to maintain
service by additional peering, deaggregated routes, or temporary
third-party transit.
Other providers use Lucent ATM switches. I don't know if they
will also need to upgrade their networks at some time in the future
to fix the same problem.
