RE: ietf/istf role in US Disaster?

[Franck Martin <Franck at SOPAC.ORG>]

Could you traceroute to or run traffic tools to check the following links to
these sites:

www.is.com.fj
www.nauru.nr

and see if there is anything happening...

We have been experiencing for about a week problem to connect to certain US
sites. Something related to BGP not correctly advertising network routes?

We don't have here the skills to understand what is happening, exept that we
get some network unreachable status.

The reports I've seen indicate no significant overload overall, only an
overload
on many news sites.
