Skype ne répond plus - Lionel - 08:46:15 - Réactions
Depuis hier, Skype rencontre des problèmes majeurs sur ses serveurs. Il en résulte une impossibilité pratiquement générale de communiquer via ce réseau, ce qui touche des millions de personnes devenues dépendantes.
Skype travaille à régler le problème, dont on ignore encore la cause, si ce n'est qu'il serait lié à un bug logiciel.
en allant sur le site de skype http://www.skype.com :
Hello all,
Here’s the latest on the sign-on problem. We’re on the road to recovery. Skype is stabilizing, but this process may continue throughout the day. An encouraging number of users can now use Skype once again. We know we’re not out of the woods yet, but we are in better shape now than we were yesterday.
Finally, we’d like to dispel a couple of theories that we are still hearing. Neither Wednesday’s planned maintenance of our web-based payment services nor any form of attack was related to the current sign-on issues in any way.
We’ll update you again as soon as we can. Thanks for hanging tight.
Please see our Heartbeat blog for ongoing updates.

What happened on August 16

On Thursday, 16th August 2007, the Skype peer-to-peer network became unstable and suffered a critical disruption. The disruption was triggered by a massive restart of our users’ computers across the globe within a very short timeframe as they re-booted after receiving a routine set of patches through Windows Update.
The high number of restarts affected Skype’s network resources. This caused a flood of log-in requests, which, combined with the lack of peer-to-peer network resources, prompted a chain reaction that had a critical impact.
Normally Skype’s peer-to-peer network has an inbuilt ability to self-heal, however, this event revealed a previously unseen software bug within the network resource allocation algorithm which prevented the self-healing function from working quickly. Regrettably, as a result of this disruption, Skype was unavailable to the majority of its users for approximately two days.
The issue has now been identified explicitly within Skype. We can confirm categorically that no malicious activities were attributed or that our users’ security was not, at any point, at risk.
This disruption was unprecedented in terms of its impact and scope. We would like to point out that very few technologies or communications networks today are guaranteed to operate without interruptions.
We are very proud that over the four years of its operation, Skype has provided a technically resilient communications tool to millions of people worldwide. Skype has now identified and already introduced a number of improvements to its software to ensure that our users will not be similarly affected in the unlikely possibility of this combination of events recurring.
The Skype community of users has been incredibly supportive and we are very grateful for all their good wishes.
Donc en gros, le 16 août, suite à une mise à jour des pc sous windows (windows update, rien à voir avec skype), ces pc ont redémarré, puis se sont connectés à skype, comme il y a eu un volume énorme de demande de connexion au même moment, le réseau skype s'est crashé.
L'équipe de skype a modifié leurs programmes afin que cela ne se reproduise pas.
