Sat Sep 2 14:51:29 PDT 2000 — High latency and packet loss on UUNet in San Francisco. Our new Internet monitoring tool — “see” — has detected unacceptable latency and packet loss on UUNet’s network in San Francisco. Upon contacting UUNet, they informed us that they already have a ticket open on the problem. “See” detected the problem as part of its monitoring of the path from here to www.ora.com. Since most of our traffic to the Internet does not travel over the latent path, we don’t expect customers to notice the problem (unless you are visiting www.ora.com, of course). Here, “see” has fulfilled its role of notifying us about potential problems before you, the customer, notice them. -Scott
