Notes for network administrators
- ‘Ping’ of connexion.oclc.org: OCLC has disabled ICMP externally so a ‘ping’ will always fail to connexion.oclc.org
- ’Trace route’ to connexion.oclc.org: OCLC disallows trace routes to go further than our perimeter load balancer device (152.179.19.254) and it will not reach connexion.oclc.org
