It was exactly 13.5 min. Andrew posted it before he know the exact time.

I have made the correction in his announcement. :)

I'm curious as to if there was any kind of failure in the redundant backbone service provided via Internap? With 9 backbone providers, it would seem that one of the backups would have kicked in during this 13.5 minute failure. Maybe they did kick in and the lag time was due to the switch over. This is mainly a curiosity on my part as to how efficiently a provider like Internap can switch back and forth between various backbone providers.

This is the first time I can remember there being a complete network failure since you guys switch to Internap. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Redundancy didn’t matter w/ this outage. Our net engineer and Internap miss-communicated about work being done on our routers and this caused our feeds to be dropped longer then necessary.

It shouldn’t happen again.

Thank you for the update, Starr. This stuff is kind of interesting to me. The way companies like Powweb and Internap build these redundent networks is amazing.

What are you complaining about, 15 minutes is a pretty small time to be down. It still places PowWeb well above their advertised uptime.

Just be glad it was only 15 minutes. I for one am glad that you can solve your problems in that short a time.

My 2 cents

or a $1.50 Canadian :p

Our end goal is 4 9's. :)

It shouldn’t happen again.
