And to cause a scramble or a complete meltdown or switch havoc? I find that incredibly hard to believe. Either that or we have a really lousy IT guy working for us.



I did get a laugh out of JS s email today with the Airplane picture. Perhaps this is a change of pace from the lack of humor/color from the daily operational updates?



Anyone see a vacancy announcement for IT Quality Assurance yet?


It's entirely plausible that a VOIP phone could cause a switching loop that would overwhelm the switches and bring the network to a standstill..but without knowing the network topography it's hard to tell where the failure was.
