We are aware of an issue currently affecting LINX, the largest UK traffic exchange point utilised by the majority of the large ISPs. This is causing widespread disruption to UK Internet traffic, as the majority of UK routes will pass through LINX at some point on their path, even if the ISP does not peer there directly. This is causing periods of packet loss, slow connectivity, and disconnects to hosts.
You could see the sudden drop in traffic from the LINX status page at https://www.linx.net/pubtools/trafficstats.html.
This disruption is likely to be short-lived.
We are very pleased to announce that Mark Gooderham is joining Web Integrations today.
Mark - who has taken the major step of a relocation from the Central Belt - is already experienced in Linux administration using the Debian operating system. He will be turning that knowledge to good use in converting to our preferred Red Hat systems.
Mark has a superb knowledge of CSS, XHTML and XML and is keen to develop his understanding of Linux and Windows security in particular.
We are very pleased to get Mark on board and looking forward to working with him.
