Hi

There seems to be a problem with the IS network causing authentication errors for IS users. The whole IS network seems to be down for some odd reason.

No news regarding the official reason however.
 
I just tried to connect on 2 of my accounts with IS and nothing getting invalid username and pass error thing and on my saix account i cant even check email or go onto irc ???

I just saw some1 else also started another thread about the saix issue
 
Yup. My servers are gone :(. is.co.za is down, ananzi is down. What happened to the redundancy?
 
on other news, good thing we have 3 networks ie. myadsl on uunet so we can still access this :D~
 
Glad you can see the bright side of 60-80% of the country's content gone! How many millions are being lost every second now?
 
Then again, just noticed torrents on the telkomrapage account have flown to 80KB/s. Wohoo! destroy telkom destroy telkom ;)
 
As far as i know this failure affects both SAIX & I.S Backbones , possibly related to an Eskom failure
 
Indeed IS has died.
Traffic was initially being routed through the UK/US when it died:

I wonder what's happening? I noticed very erattic loss on my ISDSL account to local IS hosting servers earlier on this afternoon, if that bears any use?

According to my traces, it's just being routed internationally... not quite "Back" :/

Yes you are correct. But at least its back. Before even the international route was down!

*Edit*All I really care about is if my servers are visible ;) */Edit*

this is insane. 650 total round-trip latency to a south african host (IS) from SAIX. jeez i wonder what's gone wrong. Some major peering router seems to have died and they're routing on a backup international link. Surely they should have some kind of local backup routing scheme? Jeez why must all our local bandwidth be routed overseas that makes 0% logic. Welcome to SA.
