Hello; To be honest, I did not see any BGP or other routing effects from the NYC fire (there were problems on Abilene this weekend, but they were due to a bad router update). My data are presented on http://www.multicasttech.com/status and are fairly coarse-grained, having a 6 hour update cycle. The 9/11 problems actually came starting on 9/13 and 14 when the battery / generator power started running out at 25 Broadway. My understanding is that the biggest problem was the inability to access the facility to refuel. My (multicast-centric) analysis of the 9/11 response was presented at Nanog 23 : http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0110/eubanks.html You should also look at the other two presentations on 9/11 and the Internet at that meeting : http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0110/agenda.html Regards Marshall Eubanks T.M.
