It all depends on what you call a medium/large-scale outage. Based on historical list content, I think such outages are typified by events such as (mis)handling of malformed AS_PATH attributes by different router vendors, AS7007, Sprint 0.0.0.0, NSI root server corruption, widespread/cascading problems in a large provider's frame-relay network, etc. Generic fiber cuts and congestion just don't qualify. What's changed? Regards, Sharif Dans son message, Fergie (Paul Ferguson) écrivait:

But I think NANOG is certainly an appropriate forum for medium/large-scale outages - unless someone's created an outage list someplace.
I will agree that it's not the place to bitch about a vendor not giving more specifics, dumping on vendors in any way, actually...
