Re: Layer3 down?

2006-06-06 Thread Michael . Dillon

 From my IT department:
 
 It seems that the internet is having issues at a Layer3 Communications
 router, this normally would not be a problem but L3 runs some routing 
for
 the internet backbone. The techs at L3 are working on the problem and we 
do
 not have an eta as to when it will be back up, this situation is 
completely
 out of our control. You may experience short network outages or severe
 latency.

Thanks for posting my morning smile.

I would question any announcement from any department which doesn't  
even know the name of the provider in question, more or less who  
runs some router for the internet backbone, whatever that is.

How about you (1) let us know your general location (2) show us evidence by
sending traceroutes, etc. 

I can mail, therefore L3 works

Pretty vague, eh?
