That could very well be the case, but if that were really the cause you'd expect to see this pattern every year. However, it apparently didn't happen for at least two years in a row[1]. Also, I would have expected Skype engineers to have wised up to the situation by now if it were really a seasonal thing.
[1] Since the last outage was 3 years ago. I can't find a source for that right now -- would be interesting to see if the outage was also around Christmas time.
- raamdev 16y agoIt could be that growth in Skype usage/userbase has reached a point where this sort of outage is more likely to occur as a result of slight fluctuations in supernode availability.
- danyork 16y agoNo, the outage in 2007 was in August, and had to do with churn of the supernodes related to updates. I wrote about it here: http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2007/08/skype-offers-fu.html http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2007/08/skype-offers-fu.h...
