New record. Yesterday the total outgoing traffic was over 11TB. Never before has ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de delivered so much data.

Mandrake 9.1 has been released which resulted in much more bandwidth consumption. Instead of the usual 30-50MBit/s it is now always more than 200MBit/s and all 500 available ftp connections are in use.

Reboot was necessary to patch the kernel (ptrace exploit fix)

Just a status report, that the new kernel is operating without any apparent problems.

Right now we are running again without any bandwidth shaping which immediately resulted in a tripled bandwidth consumption. This server is the machine which produces the highest amount of traffic in the BelWü. Should this make us proud?

Short, unannounced, downtime to upgrade the kernel. Now a pure and selfmade 2.4.20 is powering this server.
