- On Sunday Dec 20th, UUNET will be reorganizing its local ethernet
- layout to better handle increasing load. In addition, UUNET will be
- reallocating the IP addresses for some of the production hosts. This
- reorganization has forced the normal Sunday dumps to be pushed back by
- two hours, so they will start at noon Eastern time on Sunday. As
- usual, UUCP customers will be unable to transfer files while dumps are
- occurring.
-
- Additionally, after the dumps are finished, there will be additional
- time during which UUNET will be unreachable while the actual re-wiring
- and testing of the new network organization is performed. During part
- of this time period (which should start at 3:00pm EST), AlterNet
- connectivity may experience several small routing flaps. No routing
- problems should persist more than 15 minutes.
-
- When the reorganization is complete, UUCP customers should not see any
- functional differences in service. Customers who use TCP/IP to
- communicate with UUNET and use the nameserver (BIND) to resolve
- addresses should have no problem communicating with us. Only people
- who are using hardwired IP addresses for UUNET hosts addresses should
- have problems. Given that DNS has been widely deployed on the Internet
- for over five years, this should not be a problem. If your hosts are
- not using DNS at this time, we strongly urge that you switch all your
- computers to use DNS for hostname resolution.
