Re: [outages] News item: Blackberry services down worldwide, Egypt affected (not N.A.)
Never put down to malice which can be more easily explained by stupidity.. or in this case failure. RIM explained the problem earlier.. The messaging and browsing delays being experienced by BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Brazil, Chile and Argentina were caused by a core switch failure within RIM's infrastructure. Although the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested. As a result, a large backlog of data was generated and we are now working to clear that backlog and restore normal service as quickly as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience and we will continue to keep you informed. This appears to have been a result of a change on monday The problems began at about 11am on Monday. The Guardian understands that RIM was attempting a software upgrade on its database but suffered corruption problems, and that attempts to switch back to an older version led to a collapse http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/oct/12/blackberry-outage-executive-apologies?newsfeed=true thanks andrew On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:47 PM, andrew.wallace andrew.wall...@rocketmail.com wrote: Guys the outage has moved to U.S and Canada, I think we need to look at this perhaps being sabotage. http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-20119163-266/blackberry-service-issues-spread-to-u.s-and-canada/ Andrew From: Frank Bulk frnk...@iname.com To: outa...@outages.org Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 7:32 PM Subject: Re: [outages] News item: Blackberry services down worldwide, Egypt affected (not N.A.)

This is more likely, because there's just *bazillions* of people out there that stand to benefit from a RIM outage (and in fact profit more from an outage than from being able to watch traffic as it goes by). It's just a question of which one of those bazillions did it *this* time.

Re: [outages] News item: Blackberry services down worldwide, Egypt affected (not N.A.)
I think it raises serious questions about RIM's DR strategy if a DB corruption or switch failure or whatever can cause this much outage. 'Surely' RIM have an second site that is independent of the primary (within reason) that they could of flipped to when they realised the DB was borked. If not then any business that relies on them needs to be shouting from the rooftops to get RIM to fix it. Chris.

Re: [outages] News item: Blackberry services down worldwide, Egypt affected (not N.A.)
I have been witness to N+1 HUMAN failures but never a N+1 hardware failure or system/design failure that warranted questioning the need for N+2. Usually your N+1 failure is (as already referenced) pasting in a bad config that gets replicated or something like that. Not saying the hardware is perfect. It's just that I haven't personally seen a full blown failure like that without human help. Closest example would be an update that wasn't properly vetted in dev/test before migrating to prod. I've seen a few of those that I guess you could blame on the system.

Andrew, you *really* need to learn what the actual failure modes and root causes in real-life production networks are, and draw conclusions from reality, not whatever MI-7 inspired dream world the claim of sabotage came from. In fairness, Valdis, Andrew did not say this was obviously sabotage. He suggested that that possibility be added to the list of things which the RIM employees tasked with finding a root cause consider. I think the old filtering rule applies here: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. If this turns out to look like it came from 3 or more non-cascading failures, then sabotage will look a little more likely. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Re: DPI deployment use case
Apparently Telcos are faced with implementing the following algorithm to create value-added services: - Take service S with provides value Y - Artificially remove value, creating new service V - Price V at the same level as S - Offer old S at a higher price point and market it as a value added service, compared to V One would have thought that value added referred to well, *adding* value to what already exists, not rehashing current offers and artificially limiting them.

Rigging is not the right name for it, which is why the original message stated 'gaming', which is quite accurate. You just set up an official (shell) company and thus get official papers for it and with that you go to RIPE NCC (or any other RIR or LIR) and request a new chunk of address space just like every other organization is able to do. Nothing much that RIPE NCC can do about, as all the paperwork will check out just fine and they will generally even pay the fees as well, they are making money off it.

Re: [outages] News item: Blackberry services down worldwide
I've always believed that RIM's decision to implement email and other services in this way was a very poor choice that at some point would blow up in their faces. My evil half would say that is was a marketer's rather than an engineer's decision. It's one thing when you are basically the only game in town (as RIM was a few years ago), now it's a completely different scenario. RIM already faces a complicated playground. More high-profile incidents like this one and suddenly people start losing confidence in the service... one thing leads to another... then suddenly you're target for acquisition by a huge corporation. Then things look up again but exactly one year later that huge corporation buries everything you did and you're a page in a history book :-) Good luck to them, Carlos On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:50 PM, Joe Abley jab...@hopcount.ca wrote: On 2011-10-12, at 13:05, Leigh Porter wrote: Email on my iPhone is working fine.. ;-) The blackberry message service is centralised with a lot of processing intelligence in the core.

Re: Apple updates - Affect on network
There are a fair number of reports of Apple's update servers being down/intermittent. I imagine that's probably fairly inevitable on launch day.

Re: Apple updates - Affect on network
I didn't have issues downloading the update, it took less than 10min, but I've so many apps and stuff on a 32GB iPod that the process of backing up, upgrade, restore, somewhere in the middle you have to confirm some settings and backing up the apps for which I still I see 23 pending updates I guess due the new version of iOS is kind of tedious, iTunes does not provide much information besides a dialog box saying Restoring iPod apps, but the iPod is not with the classic syncing message, on the iPod I can see the icons for the apps being restored showing up one by one. Besides connectivity problems and latency, the whole process seems to take a lot of time, so be patient and plan to see your iGadget coming back to live slowly. -J On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:56 PM, Carlos Alcantar car...@race.com wrote: Has anyone else bricked there phone doing the iOS 5 update.
