  1. The #NANOG mailing list discussed an outage of #Cogent in #Texas. The company's update: "This is being caused by multiple fiber cuts".

    Must be lots of stuff going on, if multiple fiber cuts appeared at the same time. Anyone ideas what could have caused it?

  5. A #rootserver at the #Internet’s core lost touch with its peers. We still don’t know why.
    For 4 days, the c-root server maintained by #Cogent lost touch with its 12 peers.
    This server, maintained by Internet carrier Cogent Communications, is one of the 13 root servers that provision the Internet’s root zone, which sits at the top of the hierarchical distributed database known as the domain name system, or #DNS.

  12. @LunaRogue depends on the network in question and how well it's interconnected.

    For example, you may have double-digit ms on a tower that is fiber-connected, triple-digits if it uses RF links that are pretty clogged and potential timeouts and packet losses with shitty networks like since they don't peer on and underprovidion their peers abused as upstream|s [ & ]...
