ARLA/CLUSTER: ED7ZAB DXCluster irá encerrar

[Pedro Ribeiro]

Boa tarde,

Recebi agora a notícia de que um dos DXCluster mais conhecidos da 
Europa, ED7ZAB-5 irá previsivelmente encerrar devido à falta de 
condições para a manutenção.

Para além de ser consultado directamente por muitos utilizadores, este 
nó funcionava também como um importante "hub" de interligação de muitos 
DXCluster regionais.
Prevejo que sua falha irá provocar alguma instabilidade na rede mundial 
de DXCluster e o isolamento de alguns grupos de servidores da rede 
mundial até que estabeleçam novos acordos de troca de dados.

Neste momento o ED7ZAB-5 tem 110 utilizadores ligados, dos quais 33 são 
links para outros nós.

Enquanto Sysop do CS5SEL-5, sei que será uma perda importante enquanto 
"upstream link" (o melhor até ao momento), no entanto posso assegurar 
que via os restantes 3 links F1OYP-8, ON6LR-5 e VE7CC-1 a conectividade 
estará assegurada.
Estamos já a tentar negociar links adicionais para compensar esta perda.
O nosso obrigado ao ex. sysop Angel (EA7WA) pelo apoio e ensinamentos 
que permitiram a reactivação do nosso DXCluster à cerca de 3 anos.

73!
