RIPN and Relcom was not affected, except their M9 colocations. They had, in theory, backup connectivity thru another node, but I am not sure, if it really worked or not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Abley" <jabley@isc.org> To: <Michael.Dillon@radianz.com> Cc: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 8:20 AM Subject: Re: More on Moscow power failure( was RE: Moscow: global power outage)

The Russian media have lots of details about the power outage, but the general media hardly mentions the fact that there was a disruption of Internet service.
The MSK-IX web page still has no news about the incident and no explanation as to why they shut down.
It's not clear to me that the MSK-IX shut down entirely, although it does look like it took a major hit. While I see most of our MSK-IX sessions came up around 2 days 3 hours ago we have at least one that has been up for 4 weeks, suggesting that at least part of one of the switch fabrics stayed up throughout.
The F root nameserver in Moscow is colocated with RIPN. Neither of the nameservers in the F-root cluster there show signs of power failure, in case it helps anybody else here to know of a site in Moscow that has functional power supply protection.
F-root traffic graphs in Moscow suggest local impact was limited to a 5-6 hour window ending around midnight Tuesday UTC.
