A side-note on why 25 Broadway lost power.
I am told they had the fuel, but the "Local 3" union worker who was
watching the gauges on the generator misread the dials, and a human
error caused the generator to run bone dry.

Anyone got good data comparing the effects on the Net (BGP

on September 11th.
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 :

You should also look at the other two presentations on 9/11 and the
Internet at that meeting :

I'm on a National Academy of Sciences committee looking at how the
Internet fared on 9/11 and we're always in search of good comparative
data.
Thanks!
