This is funny, I did loose my IBGP peers, maybe the MFS provided IDSU is on AC power... -:)

It wouldn't hurt to check. When doing a physical check of our facilities in the past, we've discovered MFS had installed some AC powered equipment on our rack. Other telco's have done the same thing. If you have an AC outlet too close to your rack, I've noticed even the telco techs don't like messing with DC power and plug things into the wall. A thought I just had. How many folks have optical bypass switches on their fddi connections? If a enough providers' equipment fail without bypassing, the ring can get partitioned into different sections which might explain some of this. Supposedly DRA's router is plugged into the gigaswitch, but I don't have a gigaswitch manual to check what happens with ring partitions. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
