re: Y2K, some mid-day status notes from NANOG re: ISP route abnormalities

Note: see the first paragraph in the uplinked message (reply #839) which I posted last week. In the following, DoS stands for "denial of service."

============

From Japan:

"It seems there is no trouble related Y2K in Japan
Major IX, ISPs and root DNS server working fine."

============

Stateside:

"Happy Y2K to all! Looks as if GTEI has begun filtering ICMP type 0 and 8 (I
hope that's all) through their backbone. I heard that this was because of
DoS threats, but I haven't seen any other commentary on the subject. GTEIs
NOC claims that they have made no changes. From some places I can get
through the network, but others fail. CERFNet and others are clean.
Traceroute works fine everywhere. Has anyone else seen anything similar?"

Soon after, someone replied:

"Seems normal in their backbone from NYC to PaloAlto"

============

"A few (perhaps 2%) of the domains I've looked up today aren't
resolving. It appears that several hosting companies have turned off their nameservers until after this Y19100 foolishness is over. cihost.com is one of them. I wonder if their customer SLA covers this. It seems that this reaction is a lot like what many predict will happen to phone systems: the date rollover doesn't break things, panic does. Has anyone on the list shut down any equipment as preventative maintenence, and if so, how have your customers reacted?"

=============
