IB logged me out at 13.25pm...Mkt Tanked...

There was a internet level network failure with a major NYC gateway, that was
probably what you just experienced.

I wonder if people really want to bash IB only.
 
Hmm...that "internet level network failure with a major NYC gateway" didn't keep somebody from trading like there was no tomorrow for a few minutes.

70% of volume in futures mkts is done by exchange members. they certainly do not access via internet !

How did you learn of this so fast? Are you singed up for some kind of alert or did you go to one of those internet traffic report sites?

No, when I was logged of I did several traceroutes to NYC / Chicago sites, they
all failed at the same point.
(Destination net unreachable)

However, the providers quickly had
switched over to backup lines and packets
are routed elsewhere than normal now.
