I am working with a web site that is putting in a new server soon and was told that the co-lo they are using is about to change isps. I guess the new network is not up yet since I cannot get traceroute to even get to the point where it tries to get to a machine on the network when I try to traceroute to the default gateway. after 10 hops I get a !H that the man page says is host or network unreachable:
5 bb2-p4-0.dllstx.sbcglobal.net (151.164.188.246) 23.623 ms 24.005 ms 22.848 ms 6 sl-gw40-fw-3-0.sprintlink.net (144.228.39.225) 24.649 ms 24.641 ms 22.827 ms 7 sl-bb21-fw-4-3.sprintlink.net (144.232.8.245) 24.404 ms 25.404 ms 22.367 ms 8 sl-bb21-chi-6-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.8.53) 44.096 ms 44.869 ms 43.045 ms 9 sl-gw34-chi-9-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.26.38) 42.653 ms 44.484 ms 42.811 ms 10 sl-sbc-107-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.223.73.146) 45.229 ms !H * 45.798 ms !H Is this normal for new subnets? They are getting 2 /24 ranges (Class C?) subnets and I was wondering if this is normal for newly issued ip ranges. whois has the co-lo name and the name of the wholesale isp (Ameritech) registered but still no routing available to either network from SBC in Tulsa. What can I expect? I assume that the routing protocols in the Internet backbone allow for discovery of new subnets and routes to them. If this is the case how long does it take for a new route to propagate? The isp in in Wisconsin and it looks like the route makes it to Chicago which seems like the right direction but then dies on what looks like a sbc router. SBC is Ameritech so should I suggest that the talk to them? The co-lo tech guy is not really up on routing issues as far as I can tell but I thought I would ask here before offering my 2 cents. My experience with SBC here in Tulsa has not been too encouraging either for that matter so I thought I might try to point them in the right direction if I can find it myself :) Tips appreciated.
