The skies above the United States were completely paralyzed by Penny's router patch.
On November 13, about 50 thousand flights were planned in the USA. About 12,000 flights were not made due to a widespread failure. The ban was in effect for more than four hours - the longest nationwide stoppage of flights in the United States in the last 25 years. The next day, the cancellations continued. US authorities called for an initial failure scenario. It turned out that the contractor was changing the copper communication line to optical fibers and installed a normal and cheap router. After connecting, the device started generating too many requests, which interfered with the connection between the transmission centers. Now the authorities have to find out why such work has led to failure at the national level.
