[outages] Level 3 router in CHI just barfed?

[Scott, Robert D.]

I am not sure that the release of specific Portal information from a vendor is appropriate, or not a violation of the AUP.

The public information is that a fiber conduit that travels near or under water between Tulsa and Barnsdale OK is being crushed by ice, and degrading the optical characteristics of the fiber. Besides affecting the vendor's circuits, several major circuits that make up part of the Research and Education network backbones are also affected. The internal notes indicate that there are other customers affected. Time of day and temperature are affecting the magnitude of disruptions.

The problem goes back to the 8th of Feb. I can only imagine the work being done to try and thaw out and dry out the path, given the weather conditions. It is currently 35, with an expected low tonight around 18.
