The following message is just to let everyone know that you might
experience intermittent problems with your email access (INTERNET email
only) over the next week or two.  If so, don't automatically assume it's
the list during this time period.

PS-- Obviously one shouldn't contact CERFnet with problems reports unless
one actually gets their service from CERFnet.  Just talk to the customer
service people at your site.

|
| As many of you are aware the NSFNET backbone, long the primary
| backbone of the Internet, is scheduled to be dismantled by the
| end of this month.
|
| Transition activities will begin as soon as April 21, this friday.
|
| I suspect that the next 4-8 weeks will bring some instability to the
| network, and there will be intermittent problems reaching some sites
| on the global Internet as network engineers at all networks fine
| tune the routing.
|
| You should pass this information to your users.  Any trouble should be
| reported to [log in to unmask]  or at +1 800 876 2373 ( +1 619 455 3900 )
| by chosing the dedicated line technical support menu.
|
| CERFnet has undertaken a  project to document what the Internet
| will look like in the absence of the NSFNET backbone. A map
| describing this toplogy is available via http://www.cerf.net/about/
|
| CERFnet began the transition back in November of last year as we
| acquired additional direct connectivity to many large internet
| providers. CERFnet plans for connectivity to the global Internet
| are documented in http://www.cerf.net/about/ as well. I encourage
| you to browse these documents.
