This is the outages-discussion list. The outages list is for reporting. 
Once an outage has been reported, discussion moves here to reduce noise 
on the main list.

While most outages are accidental and unplanned rather than deliberate 
and planned, Cogent is a major transit provider and Russia is a large 
country. This is in my opinion on-topic here as long as the discussion 
remains mostly technical in nature. This action is likely to cause 
alerts and shifting of traffic that is likely to affect or at least be 
noticed by many network operators.
