by Titley, Nigel 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Gentlefolk, Apologies for the lateness of these minutes. My only excuse is that I wasn't there, but I must emphasise that the scribe did actually pass on the minutes straight after the meeting. On the positive side, the only action that came out of the meeting was on Wilfried, so you can all breathe easily (apart from Wilfried).

RIPE NCC Service Interruption on 29 September
by Ruud de Kooter 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Dear Colleagues, As we announced on 29 September, there was an unexpected disruption to our whois and web services between 05:10 and 06:00 UTC. Our investigations have shown that the problem was caused by an increasing traffic load and a growing number of peers on one of our routers. We made some configuration changes to improve load balancing between our border routers. This should prevent any similar problems from occurring in the future. We apologise for any disruption or delay this may have caused. If you have any further questions about this matter, please send an e-mail to <ops(a)ripe.net>. Regards Ruud de Kooter RIPE NCC
