150 servers have now installed release 1.7 and, as expected, the
DISTRIBUTE patterns have changed dramatically in the past week. The
percentage of jobs from FRORS12 I received at SEARN was down to 2.3% on
friday, and 1.6% on saturday. Now that the DISTRIBUTE traffic is taking
routes similar to those of regular NJE traffic, most of the LISTSERV
traffic that goes via France has its final destination in one of the
countries in the "french area"; that is, France no longer acts as the
one-and-only DISTRIBUTE entry point in Europe. I am now adding FRMOP11 to
the DISTRIBUTE backbone in order to decrease the load on the nationally
funded FRMOPxx-FRORSxx line, as requested by EARN-France. Routing for the
following "subtree" of backbone servers is affected:
FRMOP11 +-> BEARN --> BNANDP11
+-> UKACRL
+-> TAUNIVM +-> BGUVM
| +-> TECHNION
+-> FRORS12 --> FRULM11
+-> PTEARN
+-> TREARN --> TRMETU
+-> GREARN
All these servers were previously routed through FRORS12 instead. Germany
may or may not be routed via FRMOP11, depending on where the distribution
originates from; this is due to a reorganization of the international
connections in Germany (the 64k line between DEARN and FRMOP22 is to be
cancelled for political reasons, with all traffic to Europe being sent
over IXI), and I hope things will settle down within the next 2 months.
Finally, there is a good chance that switching to FRMOP11 will also
remove the file corruption problem that is responsible for the X-DEL
storms (for all but the north of France, that is still routed via
FRORS12). In any case, with 150 servers running CRC checks on DISTRIBUTE
jobs, I (hate to have to take the responsibility of saying I) believe it
should now be reasonably safe to pull out all X-DEL filters and mods so
that people can start unsubscribing expired accounts again.
