there is that I guess
I was working at Jabil Circuit and the network would always drop to it's knee's
every afternoon starting at 12:30 - 3:00 or 4:30 almost everyday. This went on for
almost two weeks solid and the WAN dept could not figure it out and blamed it on
the LAN dept (which I was working with at the time) so we were getting some heat
for Corporate. Anyway, we went out on the production floors and checked the co-ax
for any rubbed off insulation and stuff. Then we checked the server closet and
traced drop thought to maybe causing noise and such. So after my boss got her butt
chewed on in a meeting she came down to chew on our butts for not figuring the
problem out and I pop off with "Well all of you are going to feel stupid as hell if
it turned out to be a freaking Quake Death match." No one said a word and we all just
kind of smiled, we had a sniffer and lanalyzer on the network the next afternoon.
The guys from the WAN dept got all twitchy and complaining right away that we could
not hook up in their server room. It was push and we found a few interesting things.
CEO and his closest buddies VP's and such all had Apache Strike on their systems which
some if not all would be playing starting at lunch time. On the WAN there was some
death match's being played with people in Scotland, Florida, Georgia and Texas and now
and then Far East...
hell we got more flack when we deleted games after that then when the network would
puke all over itself
