<div dir="auto">If you can get more info I think it would be a presentation of interest. How one can break it and how difficult it can be to fix it. Especially if you have to get off your behind and catch an airplane. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Back when I was running the dial up internet company I had to fly home from Calgary to sort a problem that Group Telecom had created. Took me only a few minutes once here. Then fly back to Calgary where I left Suzanne and kids to continue our vacation. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Elapsed time to fix about 6 hours. <br><br></div>

Deid,

What a bunch of hand waving with Network jargon. It doesn't really say what the problem was other than the Data Centres became disconnected.

As Greg can tell you, many places run automation on their networks (like Ansible) and with it, it is easy to push a wrong configuration on many, many network devices. Recovering from a bunch of misconfigured routers that are no longer passing traffic, can be time consuming.

I'll ask at my next IPv6 call if anyone has any insights as to what _actually_ went wrong.
