AT&T says network failure due to software problem
NEW YORK, April 20 (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. said Monday its
recent frame relay network failure was due to a software-based
problem.
Last week AT&T's massive frame relay network failed,
disrupting service for thousands of business customers
nationally for about a day.
AT&T previously said the problem was related to the
interaction between two frame relay switches that affected the
rest of the network.
AT&T Chairman C. Michael Armstrong said today the company
is working closely with Cisco Systems Inc. <CSCO.O>, which
provided the switches, on ways to fix the problem.
The frame relay network is a high-speed packet data
networking technology used by businesses that need to exchange
large amounts of computer information in short and frequent
bursts.
