Berkeley - THE GATES HAVE OPENED!!

Get stocked up while you can. I did

Taking a look on the graphs, no, they're still using the old route.

The Campus-graph is more or less "flatlined" at 80 Mbits outgoing. Incoming on the other hand is now at 28. This is nearly halved since last week.
Another very interesting graph is the res-hall-graph, that dropped slowly from 40 Mbits to nearly 0 on Sunday.

So the extra bandwith is due to the fact that most of the normal users has left.

Well this thread started at Midnight on Memorial day, would you be at the office then? I think that all campus activities have stopped for the holiday and tomorrow I would expect the new pipe to be installed. Plus I haven't seen any news about the installation on the site yet, which I am sure they will proudly be anouncing when it is done. This couls be part of the "load testing" they talked about though but probably not on the holiday.

As long as it gets up sometime. I dump at night, so it never really matters for me. And that it's only about 20 WUs per day

The biggest reason for low activity stands on Berkeley's main page: "25 May - Spring Semester Ends"
Now, summer courses starts 28. May, but only around 40% of the students is attending...
60% of the users missing should give some effect.

It's all due to the holiday. The new pipe isn't supposed to come on until next week or so from what I've read.

SETI@home Technical News Reports

May 23, 2002

Yesterday (May 22) was a busy day for SETI@home.

We have been preparing for a while to vastly increase our bandwidth. For more information on that, see the article from the Planetary Society: A Question of Bandwidth.

There was a network outage early in the day to establish the complete link between the routers in the Space Sciences Lab in Berkeley to the commercial internet in Palo Alto. We attempted this last week but failed due to a flaky media converter. However, this time around the link was successfully established! Central campus will load test over the weekend before we attempt to put the SETI@home data server on this pipe (early next week, we hope).

On this same day we completely reorganized our server closet. Matt will present a photo essay about the whole ordeal shortly. Basically, after many months we successfully cleaned up all long-standing problems with the online science database and moved it entirely onto our NetApp filer. This allowed us to remove eight external six-packs of drives from our science database server, now that they weren't being used anymore. Since we were doing that, we took this opportunity to clean up the whole closet, reconfigure the power distribution, untangle nests of ethernet/scsi wires, rack mount our Sun E450 servers to make extra floor space, and even vacuum out all the dust bunnies in the corners.

The data server is up and running. Best news I've seen in a long time!

I got up to take a pill and checked on things. Even this early in the morning I am starting to get connection errors again. but at least they were able to get the backlogs cleaned out over the weekend!!
