RE: ietf/istf role in US Disaster?

[Franck Martin <Franck at SOPAC.ORG>]

I'm no expert in this. I'm just asking experienced people to give me an
opinion and check it...

As for the disaster, well our networks may be overloaded due to the rush for
information, or something else... It happened to Fiji a few month back when
there was the coup... So I guess any major event would put a strain on the
network. Anyhow, the IETF has to analyse the situation in terms of does it
have any impact on the internet, if yes, what can IETF do?

It seems there is a problem (which I'm sure is unrelated) as Daniel Senie
states:

Both work fine for me coming from San Jose, CA.

So, why do you think this has anything to do with either the IETF or 
US disaster?
