RE: L3 East cost maint / fiber 05FEB2012 maintenance

["Nick Olsen" <nick () flhsi com>]

We saw the same here, However our session did tear down.

I was told they were doing scheduled "emergency" maintenance about 3:30PM 
EST Yesterday.

We're hung off the orlando market.

We saw the same thing out of their Tampa location; there was
a brief drop around 2am EST and a more severe one around
4:05 AM which lasted about 10 minutes for us.  Unfortunately
whatever they did, they did it in a way that our BGP sessions
stayed up so we couldn't react until bgpmon altered me about
some route withdrawals but by that time things were back to
normal and remained stable.
