The larger story here is...

"7. Routing.  Routers connect T-Mobile’s LTE towers to T-Mobile’s LTE
network.  These routers utilize a routing protocol called Open
Shortest Path First."

Hi,

FCC Issues Staff Report On T-Mobile Outage

https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-issues-staff-report-t-mobile-outage-0

This part, I find most interesting as well:

However, they were unable to resolve the issue by restoring the link because
the network management tools required to do so remotely relied on the same
paths they had just disabled.

I can't begin to tell you how often I battled senior mgmt to get some investment
into an OOB network. This only proves the point.

Parantap, are you reading this? I know you are.

Thanks,

Sabri
