Hi All,
Message below from TENET regarding international internet traffic. This may result in degredation to GridHPC resources.
Please see below for a notice from our Internet Transit provider. It is very difficult to ascertain just how great an impact this could have on normal operations, but it is important to be aware that traffic to and from Asia could be severely degraded. We will continue to monitor the situation, though unfortunately there is little that anyone can do in situations such as this. Thanks Andrew Alston TENET - Chief Technology Officer

This was an unplanned event, which may have impacted your service asdescribed below. Start: 2011-03-11 05:46 UTC End: Ongoing Affected Devices: r00.londen03.uk.bb.gin.ntt.net Affected Services: GIN-EU-SID1009896 (83.231.146.173) Service Impact: At 5:46:24 UTC according to US Geological Survey, a magnitude 8.9 earthquake struck off the east coast of Honshu, Japan, followed by a series of aftershocks measuring greater than magnitude 6. Given the scale of the earthquake, and the continuing seismic activity, full impact of this event is not yet known. This disaster has had impact on some Trans-Pacific cable system as well as some domestic fibre infrastructure in Japan. There is a high probability that traffic traversing Trans-Pacific will be adversely impacted during peak times. There is also likelihood that connectivity to various destinations in Japan may be adversely impacted as well. As this is a developing situation, at this point there is no estimated time for resolution. We will be issuing updates as we obtain new information and the situation clarifies itself. Outage Reason: International Unplanned Outage - Multiple Transpacific Circuits For more information, please contact the NTT Communications Global IP Network Operations Center and reference problem report VNOC-1-951232041. Thank you for your understanding.
