Anyone else having issues with UUNET connectivity in MSP? We were seeing slowness, now we see no traffic flow at all…we make it one hop, then nothin’.

There was apparently a very serious fire at one or more of the
Chicago area hubs MCI manages. They have a ticket #204 from today's
date tracking this. I've been seeing reachability issues from the
mid/west coast to my sites in NYC and NJ. I also have several
Internet T1's down in both MN and Cleveland, OH.

Hi Chris,

It seems all 800 numbers I have is busy.
I heard that there was fire around home depot in Down Grove area,
and it did hit the power grid, so UUNET/MCI POP lost the power.
UUNET/MCI tech - Fortunately, our Network management center tech has the number for him - said he is waiting
for generator coming in, but NO estimated time for recovery.

Did the generator at the POP fail, causing this outage? Or is this a POP without standby generation?

that seems to map to the internal firedrill as well, anyone else hit by
this event?
