This IT pilot fish and his co-workers have spent a week in heated discussions with the networking group.
The subject: some major network problems between two particular sites.
Why heated? Networking swears it can&t see any problems on the lines, so the problem must be with IT servers.But fish and friends know better; at some points, the line between the two sites is dropping out completely.It impossible to know how long the impasse might have lasted if someone at one of the sites hadn&t asked the networking people the right question: &Are we running on the emergency standby route?&The reply: &Err, yes; shall we switch you back to the primary route now?&
