It's not clear to me that the MSK-IX shut down entirely, although it
does look like it took a major hit. While I see most of our MSK-IX
sessions came up around 2 days 3 hours ago we have at least one that
has been up for 4 weeks, suggesting that at least part of one of the
switch fabrics stayed up throughout.
The F root nameserver in Moscow is colocated with RIPN. Neither of
the nameservers in the F-root cluster there show signs of power
failure, in case it helps anybody else here to know of a site in
Moscow that has functional power supply protection.
F-root traffic graphs in Moscow suggest local impact was limited to a
5-6 hour window ending around midnight Tuesday UTC.
