Re: [bitfolk] Intermittent connectivity issues?

These don't last very long at all. Sometimes when I've had Nagios open I'll see soft alarms for one or two rounds and they go right back to green afterwards. Occasionally they'll stay around long enough to send out an alarm notification (4 rounds), but then go back to green very quickly. It's not like everything lights up, seems to only to be one route at a time (my Nagios setup is checking things in various places with various providers, and it does seem to take largely different routes to these), so I've always just put it down to transient routing issues on the Internet. For what it's worth, it doesn't seem to always be the same few systems/locations/providers having issues, so from what I can tell it doesn't seem to be any one specific fault. I've always put the quick and seemingly-automatic resolutions to the issues down to the traffic automatically re-routing down another path after various upstream routers have had enough time to realise there's an issue. So I'd suggest that perhaps it's not really a Bitfolk fault but just routers doing what they're supposed to be doing: routing around problems when they appear? Hope this helps, -- Aaron
