<p>I'm sorry, but what is to investigate? Ben from Liquid stated
that he was going to initiate a partial shutdown of the Internet
for demonstration purposes (to demonstrate what it felt like) for
the duration of his talk on "Internet Shutdowns" policy. He kept
to his word. This was obviously planned in advance. The Internet
then came back on. I thought this was a perfect demonstration.</p>
As for redundancy, Liquid had three separate 10Gbps fibres coming
into the Hotels data room - each running separate routes. As a
techie - I went and eye-balled this myself (I was accompanied).
Apart from one room (Tango) where someone closed a window and
damaged the UTP cable to the WiFi access point - I never experienced
any unplanned interruptions from an Internet prospective. Also,
30Gbps is the highest amount of bandwidth I've ever seen at an
AfriNIC meeting, something rather to be applauded for. The
connectivity back to other parts of Africa was also superb. then
again, they do have the best (including IPv6) Internet presence
across Africa.<br>
<br>
You should applaud them too for the great job they did, so they
continue to bring their bandwidth to our Af* meetings. Please don't
cut off your nose to spite your face.<br>

<div>Dear Sunday,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the information.<br>
<br>
Have we investigated the Internet shutdown which occurred
during the AFRINIC Public Policy meeting at AIS2017, in order
to clarify the responsibilities of Connectivity sponsor and of
AIS NOC team on the Incident ? <br>
<br>
How come AIS2017 was run with only one Connectivity provider ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
