C&W Perring

Wed Jun 6 18:39:03 UTC 2001

MessageAccording to the C&W engineer I spoke with,  C&W stopped announcing its routes.  So PSINET was unable to find the peering routers.  (deaf, dumb and blind).  A meeting was held last night between the two and a temporary agreement was reached.  Part of this agreement was that all routes would be back in place by morning.  Which they were.  They agreed that over the next 60 days they would meet and try to work out an more lasting agreement (what ever that means) to prevent this from occurring again.

Now that is the official words.  Here is my opinion.  Customers like my company, after getting slapped in the face last night with that crappy e-mail, responded like I did.  Either fix it or we would be order new T1's to replace C&W's.  This is exactly what I told them.  We are paying them good money to C&W and none of their customer base was even questioned how this would affect our local business.  I must tell you I really pissed this morning when they called me. It must have done some good.

    To all:

        I just got off the phone with Cable & Wireless.  A 60 day continuation of peering with PSINET was reached last night.  The peering is back up and we can now find PSINET DNS server again.  More on this as I am made aware.
