Panic Mode On (79) Server Problems?

Uploads are still working but it takes a while and can be very temperamental. However I can't get a scheduler to not timeout and without that I can't see if downloads are equally temperamental.

Something is stopping up the pipes. Cricket now shows a nasty spike of incoming packets with a similar spike on the outgoing packets. Incoming packets now around 1/3 higher than is was yesterday and outgoing packets at nearly 10 kpkt/s.

Looks as if the chart started to go off "normal" about 24 hours ago. I imagine we are seeing some kind of cascading failure condition, clogging the pipes with retries that then trigger more hosts to fail connecting which then triggers more retires that clogs the pipes even more, etc.

This is what I'm seeing in my log

12/29/2012 1:09:16 AM | SETI@home | Reporting 6 completed tasks, requesting new tasks for CPU and ATI
12/29/2012 1:09:18 AM | | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
12/29/2012 1:09:18 AM | SETI@home | Scheduler request failed: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)
12/29/2012 1:09:20 AM | | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

Question is, can anybody report?

Honestly it's becoming SOP that when I complain it starts working. Well sort of.

Seems as if something has received a fix as my uploads are suddenly start to clear. :)

Still takes multiple clicks of the Retry button for me.

Not getting many Scheduler timeouts now.
Now they just fail.

I can upload, but not contact the Schedluer- or it times out. Or i can upload, but the Scheduler just fails.
Either way, getting work just isn't possible.

I got 33wu's, of course I can't work on them for about 12 hours and 19 minutes... Einstein is in the way...

And now uploads have gone from bad to worse, but Scheduler contacts haven't improved at all.
It'll probably all come crashing down before morning.

Whatever has stuffed things up, it's an odd one. There have been a couple of spikes in inbound traffic, but uploads & Scheduler requests have still been stuffed even during those periods. There's been the odd very slight dip in outbound traffic, yet most Scheduler requests result in an error, those that aren't an error timeout- It'd would be 5% or less of the requests that actually get a result.
Still the network traffic (inbound & outbound) is right up there.

Two very odd upticks in received traffic shown by the crickets.

I had to resort to Einstein

and it all started when they mowed the green grass,
when I started receiving shorties.

They used gum and bailing wire to fix the
combo of Normal MB's and AP's but they need to lengthen shorties by turning them into VLAR CPU jobs or by some other means.

Thats the way CSMA/CD works. its fine up to 85% to 90% of the rated bandwidth

then it falls over itself from that point on to 100%. Especialy if they do not

prioritize the control traffic!!! ACK ACK ACK ACK.
