[kictanet] KEnic down

[Joe Kiragu]

KIXP-KENIC Primary Link (KDN) and Transit Link (Swift) was Down,   
There was a Technical Problem with the Base Station where our WIMAX  
Link is located
The problem  has since been restored.

The Backup KIXP-KENIC ( Telkom- Kenstream ) Line has been down for a  
long While,
KENIC Management have terminated this link as a result of frequent  
breakdowns and sourced for another Backup Link

The New KIXP-KENIC backup link (Access) is is almost being  
commissioned, Actually Access Kenya have just  finished termination at  
KIXP side today
The New KIXP-KENIC Backup link is expected to be operational from  
Tomorrow.

The Backup Transit Link at KENIC (Access) was up, As a result  DNS  
propagation to .KE secondary name servers was still operational during  
the downtime thus .KE domains were therefore available.
Services that were affected by the downtime are; KENIC Website and  
Domain Registrations portal.

Apologies for any inconvenienced caused.

Regards,
Joe Kiragu
