  • Antoine: We had a purge cache issues since August 17th iirc. HTCP purges were not sent to Amsterdam datacenter. I can not remember the details nor when it got fixed though.
  • Bryan: Faidon thought it was fixed on 09-26. I think that was based on looking at Ganglia graphs.
    • Quoting Faidon right now: “multicast outage that we had from Sep 22nd until the 26th”
    • definitely follow up with ops. During european business hours: Mark / Faidon, for SF hours, no clue :( Maybe Leslie (network engineer).
