I offering a general apology to the entire nanog list. At least one subscriber found my post about the NASDAQ outage not relevant to the charter of NANOG. I thought it would be quite handy to a few folks who's companies, like mine have network connections directly to NASDAQ stock market along with a multitude of ECNs. I consider NASDAQ a major networked system as well, although not a public ip network, carries quite important information. In addition I am willing to guess that a lot of people on this list work for publicly traded companies who would find the news helpful. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Donelan [mailto:sean@donelan.com] Sent: Friday, June 29, 2001 6:49 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: Nasdaq Breaks Down for 2nd Day, Disrupts Trading On Fri, 29 June 2001, Rishi Singh wrote:

New York, June 29 (Bloomberg) -- The Nasdaq Stock Market broke down for a second straight day, disrupting traders for about 90 minutes this afternoon on one of the busiest days of the year. The No. 2 U.S. stock exchange cancelled its aftermarket session.

Officials of the computerized stock market said an error by an MCI Worldcom technician led to the problems.
