However this does not stop us from discussing best practices in handling such situations, by focusing on Internet Service Providers. It would be a good idea if someone could share to others (in the next MENOG), strategies and practices in avoiding these disasters and handling them once they occurred.

Hello:<br>
<br>
I wish to point out by way of offering certain clarification that there
exists - a need for distinct approaches here, delineated either by
one's mission emphasis, domain of operational influence or both. By
this, I mean to suggest that 'infrastructure owners' will need to
employ a different sort of strategy than those who are merely
'operators.' Naturally, in some parts of the world, owners are also
operators; where still another strategic orientation must exist. <br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>
