[HECnet] Area 7 and 8 funny...?

[Johnny Billquist]

There seems to be some problem with the bridge to area 7 and 8, as observed from my view.

I have the adjacency constantly going down and up. Looking at the status of the areas, my next hop is constantly showing as SG1 (19.41).
Now, SG1 has a separate connection to area 8, and communication to area 8 works. I assume that is because this separate path.

No communication seems to work to area 7 from me, and looking at the path, it would appear that from me to area 7 it is:
me -> SG1(19.41) -> GORVAX(8.400) -> area 7.

Which is weird, since area 7 is (as far as I know) only connected to HECnet through the bridge. I know that area 7 used to work fine. Is it working for anyone else? Also, is connections out from 7 working?

As for area 8, anyone have any ideas? I'm wondering if I should just shut down those two links for now, until we've figured out what the problem is...
