OK. No-one else seems to have mentioned (noticed?) it, so let me see if I can get the info flow going. Over 12 hours ago, MFS started some maintenance at MAE West. All the peers went down. Most have not come up. MFS is still working on it, and says that it looks like some kind of Gigaswitch failure during the maintenance. They don't seem to have any kind of ETR. Does anyone else have any better info?
they're moving the gigaswitches down one floor, away from the horrifying environmentals to which they subject paying customers. this outage should not last more than tonight, and then we can return to the comforting normal daily less global outages. our hope is that, in the move, maybe someone else will draw the giagswitch port from hell which has lost connectivity to one of our routers three or more times in the last while. such pleasure should be a shared experience. randy

What I like is the way they tell their paying customers about this. Like, um, not at all in our case. -- Alex Bligh GX Networks (formerly Xara Networks)

Quite. Is there another list that we should be on (other than nanog..) that MFS post out down time info ? Thanks, aid -- Adrian J Bool | mailto:aid@u-net.net Network Operations | http://www.noc.u-net.net/ U-NET Ltd, UK | tel://44.1925.484461/
