MJ funeral brings many networks to a crawl thanks to CBS News Feed.
IT staffs forgot to block ip addresses to saves networks from all day feed.
By Larry Chaffin on Tue, 07/07/09 - 3:14pm.Many networks came to a crawl today, all thanks to MJ. That's right people were online watching the final good bye to MJ. Below was the link that caused the most harm in networks:
I have spent most of the day help a few network managers blocking all types of internet traffic, sites, ip addresses, ports and also sling boxes. We had to block vpn access out of one network since people were using a vpn to a home network then going out to the internet.
But if your network was slow today, you can thank your network engineer or IT group for not blocking the MJ day.
Tell us what you had to do to your network or if your IT group did nothing and people watched all day.
