Mon Oct 14 11:16:50 PDT 2002 — Alteon Issues: Last night, at 8:42 our primary Alteon AD3 load balancer stopped forwarding L3 traffic. This is the second time we’ve observed this failure. We were quick to respond and reset the switch almost as it failed. Full services were restored in less than five minutes. We are in the process of re-engineering our SLB architecture to support improved redundancy and performance. Currently, we are testing the latest WebOS release for the AD3 in a fully meshed BGP and VRRP configuration on our warm spare AD3. -Kelsey
