re: Explosion in downtown Nashville now looks intentional per authorities

Yeah, they're probably trying to reroute traffic every which way around Nashville and it's causing issues in KY and AL. My verizon service has slowed some, but I'm guessing it's getting pounded hard because of the ATT outage.

From reddit:

So hi network eng here. The site impact is the main switch room for all of att for more than just local loop traffic. The backup site aka bravo on the uvn ring is out by the airport. This outage is a clear sign traffic is trying to be swung from the primary pop to the secondary and or the primary had to be taken off line and the secondary had failed to pick up the load.


Expect att wireless. Att dsl. Att fiber to all have issues going forward till the engineers can stabilize the bravo site.

Expect weird routing at work if you use att. A metric crap load of routes just went cold.

Expect any cross connects you have from all other telecoms to get unstable for a bit.


This site is a serious hub. My heart goes out to the victims and the att staff that just got woke up to a all hands emergency on Christmas Day.


I know they are doing all they can to fix this asap. I love to dog on att as a network guy for all the reasons we know and love but bomb is sure not one of them.


So have some patience and keep your eyes out for restoration.


And to all the att and telecom network folks this morning good luck and god speed.


Edit. I do not work for att. But in my past I worked for an isp in the area. I know how important that building is.
