스카이프 서버 다운? 스카이프 로그인이 안되고 있습니다.

스카이프가 한국시간으로 2010년 12월 23일 새벽 2시부터 로그인 문제가 발생했습니다.

수많은 사람들이 스카이프의 다양한 기능을 사용하면서 슈퍼노드(스카이프같은 P2P방식의 네트워크 프록시)에 장애가 생겨서

정비 중이라는 얘기구요.

 

이러한 유사한 상황은 2007년에도 이미 발생했었습니다.

 

모쪼록 빠른 시일 내에 해결되길 바랍니다.

 

 

Skype downtime today

Earlier today, we noticed that the number of people online on Skype was falling, which wasn’t typical or expected, so we began to investigate.

Skype isn’t a network like a conventional phone or IM network – instead, it relies on millions of individual connections between computers and phones to keep things up and running. Some of these computers are what we call ‘supernodes’ – they act a bit like phone directories for Skype. If you want to talk to someone, and your Skype app can’t find them immediately (for example, because they’re connecting from a different location or from a different device) your computer or phone will first try to find a supernode to figure out how to reach them.

Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of supernodes available. Unfortunately, today, many of them were taken offline by a problem affecting some versions of Skype. As Skype relies on being able to maintain contact with supernodes, it may appear offline for some of you.

What are we doing to help? Our engineers are creating new ‘mega-supernodes’ as fast as they can, which should gradually return things to normal. This may take a few hours, and we sincerely apologise for the disruption to your conversations. Some features, like group video calling, may take longer to return to normal.

Stay tuned to @skype on Twitter for the latest updates on the situation – and many thanks for your continued patience in the meantime.

결국 6시간 전인 새벽 2시부터 스카이프에 로그인 문제가 발생한 것입니다.
