Re: Initial network impacts post-US attack 3/19/03
However, tonight I am not able to reach the few Iraq servers I know about. The servers were reachable on Monday, but I wasn't keeping constant track of those servers. So I don't know when I could no longer reach them. This may just be normal network flakiness, the Iraqi networks aren't very reliable on a normal day. The Iraqi News Agency (http://www.uruklink.net/iraqnews/eindex.htm) web site, and other servers I've been checking, appear to be reachable again. It may have just been normal network flakiness. CNN.COM is still running in breaking news mode, but other major news sites have switched back to their big pages. Advertisements and pop-ups seem to coming back on news sites. Matrix systems shows a slight latency increase overnight, but has returned normal levels.

They seem to be somewhat slashdotted from the perspective of a cogent customer (nee FNSI), or . Guessing they won't get to many more updates from the old Iraqi Information Ministry ... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sean Donelan Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 1:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Initial network impacts post-US attack 3/19/03 However, tonight I am not able to reach the few Iraq servers I know about.

at least for cnn, they seem being busy collecting their usual fake information :) see http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/weapons/index.html in the aircraft/iraq part, open mig29 and see the camouflage, mainly the (sorry, i don't know the right english word) emblem on its tailwings... -- deejay -Original Message- From: Richard A Steenbergen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20. marca 2003 6:56 To: Sean Donelan Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Initial network impacts post-US attack 3/19/03 On Thu, Mar 20, 2003 at 12:03:13AM -0500, Sean Donelan wrote: However, tonight I am not able to reach the few Iraq servers I know about.

Initial network impacts post-US attack 3/19/03
Some major new web sites such as CNN.COM, MSNBC.COM, etc have dropped most advertisements from their main web pages. CNN.COM has switched to its breaking news format with a truncated main page. I have not had any difficulty reaching any major US news web site. Matrix and Keynote public graphs show normal latency, drops, etc. BGP, ASN data sources show normal number of prefixes, announcements, withdrawals. ATT and CableWireless public network statistic pages show almost all major links within normal levels. However, tonight I am not able to reach the few Iraq servers I know about.

Re: Initial network impacts post-US attack 3/19/03
I've noticed a small upswing in traffic over the last hour or two, and not to the usual midnight browsing frenzy locations. CNN, Yahoo, MSN, etc., all seem to be responding as usual (CNN had more latency at noon. Go figure.) As for sites in Iraq... I feel for the poor tech who pulled cable rat duty this week on whatever colo/CO facilities they have. or had. :-( - Original Message - From: Sean Donelan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 11:03 PM Subject: Initial network impacts post-US attack 3/19/03 Some major new web sites such as CNN.COM, MSNBC.COM, etc have dropped most advertisements from their main web pages.
