[DCN-TechOps] Re: 200303061710

I think people would like to know what happened (particularly when it  is 
someone else's fault ;-).

On a related note, during the outage I noticed that the path from my house 
went into a routing loop for a period of time. When that happened, I 
couldn't get to DCN or Campus, which should not have been affected by the 
outage.  Just an FYI.
