Howdy, I was waiting for someone to bring this up, but it didn't happen. The "19 hour" outage of AOL was attributed to a new network operating system update, by at least one media story I read. I'm curious is there're any interesting lessons from this for the rest of us? Was it a goof like putting BGP into OSPF? Was it bad code? Was it just goofy? -alan ps who is dissapointed he's not plugged in enough to just "know"
