Re: [Full-disclosure] Re: Internet Going Down For Maintenance


Please Please calm down. Techies and Geeks have a rough and ready sense of humour. There is >no way< to take the Internet down for maintainence. It was designed to have no central point of control so that no one could shut it down. Don't you think that RIAA would have been filing lawsuits left and right if they thought they could take the Internet down or even take large parts of it down.

This is a big joke because those of us who have been on this thing since it was called the ARPANET know it was designed without a central point of control without anyone owning it or controlling it etc. It was designed to supposed survive a nuclear war, which is something even the producers of "Internet KIlled the Video Star" understand. I advise watchingt that and relaxing. Here is a link to it:

Is anyone else scheduling around this event?  I may need to hire an
internet specialist to make sure this won't affect my business.  If
you are an internet specialist and can help me, I will pay $75/hour
for your services, however long it takes to insure that my systems
will still work after they finish working on the internet.  You must
be in the Seattle area.  If you can help, send me a resume
immediately, because I'll need someone right away for this weekend.
You must know how to help me if my IP is resorted or if we have a data
surge, as posted above.  Send your resume to:

Internet To Close For Maintenance This Weekend

April 1, 2005 Posted: 6:36 AM EDT (1136 GMT)

BERN, Switzerland (Reuters) -- Long-scheduled maintenance will


bring the



Internet down this Saturday from 9PM to 3AM Greenwich Mean Time.

The Internet Architecture Board, in coordination with the United


Nations,



has planned an "infrastructure maintenance window" for several


years.



According to IAB Senior Consultant Ursula Techenspüf "such a


massive network



requires occasional maintenance to upgrade aging equipment." Also


planned is



the first resorting of IP (Internet Protocol) numbers since


before the



dotcom boom.

Techenspüf added "Years ago, when the Internet was largely


academic, such



maintenance was not as stressful or disruptive. Most maintenance


can be



performed on a 'hot' network now, but resetting of the Internet


core still



requires taking it down."

Users should not expect to lose much data, although experts do


warn of a



potential data surge when the network comes back up, and advise


users to



bring systems back on the network slowly and cautiously.
