[AusNOG] Telstra Network Down

Of course when people say we have 2 core data centers, this should imply no
data center is allowed to run over 50% capacity. It's odd/strange that 3
active core data centers should sound so unorthodox, yet this is the only
way to assure you can run your DCs at 65% and handle a DC going black. Begs
the question why 4 active core DCs isn't standard architecture for core
national infrastructure (which would assure high availability under 75%
load), and 2x efficient in idle infrastructure.

Kind regards

Paul Wilkins
