By: MarkJ - 11 December, 2009 (8:26 AM) - Score: 5680 - Fixed Line Broadband
The London Internet Exchange (LINX) suffered a major failure during yesterday afternoon after one of its crucial network switches was knocked offline by an unspecified software fault. Hundreds of UK and European Broadband ISPs connect through LINX's HUB and the impact upon Internet traffic during the fault is clearly visible in their usage graph below.
The graph shows the aggregated traffic that flows across all LINX switches and sites, together with what is probably an underestimate of the additional traffic that flows bilaterally between members across the LINX private interconnect (PI) service.
At its worst LINX lost just over 100Gbps of traffic to the outage, which is just over one third of its average normal load for the affected period. The service has since been returned to a normal and stable state of operation.

I live in Canada and I have friends and family that lives in the UK. What I don't understand is why every weekend, I cannot call or use the internet services to reach them at all. Is this going to be a problem every weekend and what about the Holidays when I want to call them? Please let me know if this going to continue in the future.

Hmm I'd ask your ISP about that or post something more detailed on our discussion forum. There should be no problem.

The original post was one year ago in Dec 2009 but yes I have heard that it does seem to be happening again in Dec 2010.

The <a href="http://bestfinance-blog.com">loan</a> are useful for people, which are willing to start their own company. As a fact, it is not very hard to get a consolidation loan.
