Frankfurt Fiber Outage due to power outage in Interxion FRA2 datacenter Dienstag 14th Mai 2024 12:02:00


At 12:02 the fiber line to Frankfurt failed, the traffic that is processed via Frankfurt was therefore automatically rerouted after a short interruption.

The reason for the outage is a power failure in the Interxion/Digital Realty FRA2 data center in Frankfurt. Other carriers are also affected by this, see for example the following status message: https://status.core-backbone.com/index.php?id=5081

Traffic is currently being routed transparently via Amsterdam and will be automatically rerouted as soon as everything is stable again.

The power supply in the Interxion/Digital Realty FRA2 data center and thus also the connection to Frankfurt has been restored since around 15:00. We waited until around 15:50 and monitored the situation. Since then, we have been routing traffic via the usual paths again.
