I am on the university enterprise network side and on the state research and
education network ISP-ish side. Our users are the ones that will no longer be
using either network, and going to their home connections, so my focus has been
dealing with "AHHH something is broken" and it being that the user never used
wifi for work at home, or 5 or 6 users go "AHHHHH we just dropped our RDP
sessions" during the last couple of days. After teaching users traceroute and
how to google "what is my IPv4 address" they were on the same ISP, crossing a
peering point that is historically congested, but is already getting worse the
first day of the "trial" for important staff.
I am only going to be running traceroutes back and forth for like the next
couple to few weeks or however long I am on house arrest. They closed our
campus after spring break, which starts at 5pm tomorrow (as does my fun week of
maintenances), currently for another week.
I have never been so fearful of an IX as I am today.

With talk of there being an involuntary statewide (WA) and then national
quarantines (house arrest) for multiple weeks, has anyone put thought into the
impacts of this on your networks if/when this comes to fruition?
We're already pushing the limits with telecommuters / those that are WFH,
but I can only imagine what things will look like with everyone stuck at home
for any duration of time.
