Loma Prieta, very little; the UCSC line was a non-redundant T1 from San Jose=
BARRNET, and the other leaf nodes off that were down. As I recall the San J=
ose / SF to LA links were all golden.
Phone service to Santa Cruz was down, then spotty, then up over the course o=
f a day, but every line was jammed with people checking in so connect rates s=
ucked. The UCSC point to point T1 had to be manually repaired I think. The=
telco lines had alternate routes for calls and made it work, in a bit.
Northridge a few years later more or less flattened a C&W center just about a=
t ground zero. CRL's pager-happy 24x7 MUD customer in Atlanta woke me up a m=
inute later, and our lines through LA (and many others' lines) were down for=
a while. Dynamic routing was a little less dynamic then; I don't know what=
others did in great detail.
CIX lists buzzed etc. I think that predates nanog as a list by a few months=
, but memory is fuzzy.
