nationwide.

chris, this is not productive. outages are a very apt subject for
nanog.

Did anyone ever give any details of the issue? We're a Chicago Sprint customer, and never saw a problem. No mention of any issues in Compass either.

I hear there was a memory leak issue to their core IP backbone router.
Don't have specifics as to what region(s) within chicago that was
impacted.

If you and /or anyone else have any specifics, please post in the

I'm actually not certain posting outages to NANOG-l is a good idea. There are a LOT of outages, and I worry the list will be drowned.

But I don't run the list. Plus this discussion is probably better suited for NANOG-futures@.

The stuff below, however, may belong on NANOG.

I wonder if the Sprint & Telia outages were for the same reason / bug. Anyone from those networks want to comment? Or at least compare notes?

Interesting!

Is there a way to say "this may be related to ticket $FOO?"

Do you mean when reporting an outage? If so, yes, once verified it
will be updated and /or plotted.
