Besides that the University of Twente at Enschede (UTwente) and various affiliated institutes lost many resources, SURFnet completely lost their PoP in Enschede, inclusing 10 customer connections. All routing and switching gear went up in flames. Because of this the following institutions will not be reachable for some time: * University Twente (UTwente) (130.89.0.0/16) * Saxion Hogeschool Enschede (145.76.0.0/16) * Instituut voor Leerplanontwikkeling (SLO) (192.87.212.0/22) * ITC Enschede (192.87.16.0/24, 192.87.172.0/24, 192.87.173.0/24, 192.87.174.0/24) * Telematica Instituut (195.169.16.0/23) * Open University Deventer (145.20.114.0/24, 145.20.77.0/24, 145.20.95.0/24) * Open University Enschede (145.20.112.0/24, 145.20.75.0/24, 145.20.93.0/24) UTwente has dedicated a new building for ICT, and in this building the new SURFnet PoP will be built. New routing and switching gear is on its way to Enschede now, and our infrastructure suppliers are working hard to get our fiber and copper into the new building. Our current expectation is to be up and running again before the upcoming weekend starts. __ Erik-Jan Bos Manager Network Services SURFnet Utrecht, The Netherlands
