It's always fun when the major West coast IXP goes down--Mae-West MFS. Every peer from our Mae-West NASA AMES router to MFS is down, as well as our MFS router. I'd suppose everyone else is seeing the same thing. And the MFS NOC isn't answering the phone, after being on hold for 15 mins. Anyone know what is going on?

MFS reports a "major" outage at the Mae-west node. they were vague about the nature. since only our nap fddi connection was affected, i'm guessing it is power related. as far as i know, no eta could be provided at the time that our noc spoke with MFS. -heas
