[AusNOG] Primus Outage explanation

[Karl Kloppenborg]

Hmm, than does shoot himself in the foot.

I suppose at the same time, they are doing substation upgrades and  
what not so they working towards rectifying the issue,
however I think they need to focus on their backup services before  
their primary services.
This is the approach we have.

The last time this happened, well... the same thing happened, what did  
they change "upgrade" or investigate to try stop this from happening  
again?


Cheers!
