Uhm, since when is this outages@merit.edu?

...

FYI: (7:30PM PDT)

Starting at approximately 6:30PM PDT, MFS's power unit on their fiber mux located at the Digital Internet Exchange is resetting every 30 seconds to 1 minute.

All MFS fiber facilities are down during the power reset. This includes all MFS/Worldcom DS3 and T1 circuits entering the PAIX collocate facility.

The IX Operations staff (Digital Internet Exchange Operations) believes that the problem is due to a bad rectifier on the fiber mux's power rack.

We are currently waiting for MFS to provide a dispatch to fix this problem.

I appreciated the information. As a operationally orientated Engineer, I'm still in the position to make a few decisions upon who I use for services. MFS is a likely candidate to supply some local loops here and there, and information like this may prove beneficial to my role here. Additionally, someone may be sitting out there wondering why thier network is down, or having problems. IMHO, this notification was perfectly acceptable in this forum. Chris A. Icide Nap.Net, L.L.C.
