[MVMA] Opportunity for Big network test coming!

[Chuck Gelm]

/"Big network test coming! /
//
/It's Linktober!  "Meshoween" is coming :-)//
////
//We've found that as networks grow both in node count and complexity, 
it's almost inevitable that they'll suffer from a packet storm (or 
storms) eventually.//
////
//Now that the patch for mitigating those network packet storms has been 
rolled into an AREDN nightly build, we've decided that it's time to 
stress-test our network.
On October 30th (starting at say, 9 a.m. local time) we'll attempt to 
link as many networks together to see how the network behaves.
If you have a long-haul tunnel that you can bring up, feel free to do so.//
////
//HOWEVER, if you decide to participate in the test, or think you might 
be on a network that gets linked in, it's highly
recommended that you update your node(s) to nightly build 571 or later
to "inoculate" them against a possible incoming network storm.//
////
//Before October 30th, we'll provide a reminder and instructions on what 
to monitor during the test.//
//Thanks in advance for your consideration!  Please pass this along to 
your AREDN network neighbors.//

How does the MVMA group feel about participating in this test?
