Whoops! 2 hours to find routers w/o an IGP tsk tsk.

Dear AT&T IP Services Customer,

 Please be advised of the following:

  Date:                          8/28/02
 Customer Care TT#:      1070909
 Start of Impairment:    14:56 ET
 End of Impairment:      16:52 ET

 On behalf of AT&T, we would like to extend our apologies for any inconveniences to your business caused by the
 service impairment and delay in restoring your service.

 AT&T IP Services customers with traffic routed through our Chicago backbone routers may have been affected by
 this impairment.

 Our Network Engineers found that OSPF* network statements were missing from two backbone routers, causing the
 routing issues that customers were experiencing.  AT&T Network Engineers manually reloaded the OSPF network
 statements and then proceeded to reboot the routers in order for the changes to take effect. 

 The network statements were mistakenly deleted during a routine configuration update to our backbone routers. 
 Management has been made aware of these findings and appropriate actions will be taken to ensure this situation
 does not re-occur.

 Prior reported information was leading the AT&T Network Engineers to believe that there were issues with the route
 reflectors being out of synch.  However, this was only symptomatic of the problem stated above.  In other words, due
 to the missing network statements, the route reflectors were not advertising certain networks; therefore traffic was
 not properly routed.

 It is AT&T’s goal to provide the highest level of service to our customers. 
 We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.

Interestingly enough, ATT is announcing 12.0.0.0/23 to BBN (and nobody 
else, including AS7018 internal)..
