</span>When and where?<br>
<br>
Allstarlink.org is and has been online and stable for some time.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://Docs.allstarlink.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Docs.allstarlink.org</a> had a network outage recently due to a dead switch. It<br>
was rectified about 5-6 hours later by our network vendor.<br>

<br>
</span>Again, when and where? Connections from node to node are direct, the only<br>
thing ASL does is build a database and push that to the nodes every 10 mins or<br>
so.<br>
<br>
If your nodes are listed as online, but they cannot talk, there is a network<br>
issue unrelated to ASL.<br>
<span><br>
<br>

<br>
</span>This sort of "error" report is lacking. You would need to give the errors,<br>
dates/times, source node IP and AS path if you can provide that.<br>
<span><br>

<br>
</span>No, it makes it less likely, but it in no way rules it out. Are you doing NAT<br>
or is each node on it's own IP?<br>
<span><br>
> Other folks I have talked to across the country have stated they have<br>

<br>
</span>This is nothing but scuttlebutt without evidence.<br>
<span><br>
> Has anyone noticed this, and not said anything, or what is going on?<br>
<br>
</span>In the last 6 months ASL has lost Jim Dixon, formally incorporated as a<br>
non-profit organization and been forced to document a number of things which<br>
Jim had in his head.<br>
<br>
"The death of God left the angels in a strange position."<br>
<br>
We had to identify the ASL infrastructure, which was spread out over a number<br>
of different locations. We've done this and have access to everything, and<br>
backups in case anything fails. We've assembled an infrastructure team and<br>
have an architecture we're building into (docker). Over the next few months<br>
we're going to move servers one by one into this environment.<br>
<br>
The mailing lists have been moved to a high performance server with real spam<br>
filtering. Nagios is watching everything and we know in 5-10 minutes when<br>
there is an outage of a service.<br>
<br>
This is a huge undertaking.<br>
<br>
Tim's working on a new website, and Steve's been running everything else<br>
including development. Oh, and all the source code is on github now too.<br>
<br>
If there's network issues we _want_ to know about them, but it must be in a<br>
detailed manner. I've responded to people on reddit and said to post details<br>
over on this list. Without detailed logs and reports we cannot do anything to<br>
confirm them.<br>
