A MAJOR OUTAGE in an NTT network in Japan on Tuesday was caused by between 2,000 and 4,000 Cisco routers.

The routers went down for about seven hours in the NTT East network after a switchover to backup routes triggered the routers to rewrite routing tables.

According to Network World, the outage disconnected millions of broadband Internet users across most of eastern Japan.

Cisco says was working closely with NTT East to identify the specific cause of the outage and help prevent future occurrences.

However at the moment it is not sure what could have caused the problem.

NTT East and NTT West are trying out a core router upgrade, according to the report. NTT East got the Cisco gear to try out while NTT West got Juniper core routers to evaluate.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
