I'm surprised that there has been no warning or discussion on NANOG...
There is a high likelihood that things like 802.11, licensed and unlicensed microwave links, and certainly satellite links will sustain interference over the next few days. I assume that everyone on the list is both aware, and prepared ;-)
Oh, perhaps an alternative to paging or cellphone notifications to support folks is a good idea ;-)

The NOAA links seem saturated... http://www.sec.noaa.gov/ -- Rodney Joffe CenterGate Research Group, LLC. http://www.centergate.com "Technology so advanced, even we don't understand it!"(R)

There's a very large spot group on the sun today. Yesterday it covered 0.17% of the visible disk; it's at least no smaller today.
A new full-disk image is at http://www.solar.ifa.hawaii.edu/MWLT/Today/latest.jpg
The spot group is magnetically quite complex, has produced several large flares since sunday, and is easily resolvable with the naked eye (except, of course, the sun is too bright to look at...) --
