Lars L Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've been trying to access Paddock's website since yesterday with no luck. The same goes for among others LRDirect, Brookwell and Flatdog. Craddock and LRSeries can be accessed normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars L Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 The problem can of course be elsewhere since we know nothing about how these connections are routed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I guess you rebooted the router & tried the unplug routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UdderlyOffroad Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The problem can of course be elsewhere since we know nothing about how these connections are routed. Nothing? I suggest you google the 'tracert' command, or have a look at http://traceroute.monitis.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've been trying to access Paddock's website since yesterday with no luck. The same goes for among others LRDirect, Brookwell and Flatdog. Craddock and LRSeries can be accessed normally. It's a public holiday in the UK. The server has probably crashed and there's nobody there to press the re-set button! Julian.

western Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Paddocks website is working I was on there earleir today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think it was just volume of traffic. For most of today I couldn't get eBay and around 2pm, even google was taking over a minute to load. Other sites at that time were working fine but on a holiday with most people at home on the web, it's like the equivalent of a denial of service attack on popular sites!

Sirocco Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 on a holiday with most people at home on the web, it's like the equivalent of a denial of service attack on popular sites! How come LR4x4 still works then? hehe G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 How come LR4x4 still works then? hehe Once LR4x4 is as popular as Google - you'll need to consider becoming a supporter as there's no way we'll afford the hosting fees! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si That's probably your ISP being overloaded then, there's no way in hell Google would be slowed down that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPendrey Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 That's probably your ISP being overloaded then, there's no way in hell Google would be slowed down that much. Yep, agreed. Both simonr and elbekko have this nailed... although the bigger sites like Google and eBay will have adequate capacity for the demanded load, the intervening exchanges/ISPs etc. may be implementing traffic shaping (also known as throttling).

CwazyWabbit Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Yep, agreed.

Spot on, I have two adsl lines from different ISPs and one of them exhibited the slow down on some popular sites whilst the other showed no slow down at all.

moose Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This was mostly like the reason http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/28/cut_underseas_cable_cripples_networks/ which is why we have two data centres that peer differently... this sort of thing happen quite a lot round the world.

SPendrey Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ah, that'll do it. Funny how the Internet's foundations (the Arpanet I think it was called?) were based on building a network that is resilient to disruption in case of major catastrophe (war I suspect). And yet, when the thing breaks the ISP's have to 'reroute' their traffic. That's not how its supposed to work, it should be automatic?!
