router didn’t pass any traffic so they had to reload the router that crashed.
They have opened a ticket with their hardware vendor. My tech that called wasn’t
as nosey as I wanted him to be so he didn’t get any device and node
information. But this sounds like Cisco Cisco and more Cisco issues. The GSR’s
are EOL so I bet it was one of them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Level 3 has a single router or switch handling packets at a
major POP?<br>
I doubt this, but the outage is confirmation something bad happened.<br>
<br>
That said: where's the redundancy, and why didn't it kick in?<br>
