Hello everyone,

As you might know, on june 30th the UTC time will be readjusted due to the leap second effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second)

Do you know if it could have any negative effect on the OXE? I heard that on the last time, in 2012, some webs like foursquare or linkedin had problems, and there are some equipment like Cisco that have bugs related to this. Thanks,

Best Regards,

José Manuel.

last information from ALE in the BWPS Knowledgebase is:
Linux leap second of 30th of June 2015 product impact

This article is to inform you about Alcatel-Lucent Entreprise products potential impact for Linux Leap second that will occur on 30 Jun 2015.

A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in order to keep its time of day close to the mean solar time.

The analyze by R&D security architects is in progress to identify potential impact on ALE solutions.
A communication will be done shortly
regards...

Thanks tgn,

I'll ask again within a couple of weeks to kindly ask you if you can update the info since I don't have access to this BWPS Knowledgebase.

Best regards.

In most installations, the PBX has a NTP server setup.
Hence it should be transparent, and work perfectly.
