Excessive data traffic overwhelmed network equipment and triggered the outage, according to Duffy. The statement, relayed via First Squawk, attributes the disruption to traffic volumes that exceeded the capacity of the affected infrastructure rather than to any other cause. No specific figures for traffic levels, affected regions, or duration were disclosed in the item. The remark matters because it frames the incident as a capacity and load-management problem, pointing to equipment saturation as the root cause. What to watch next is whether operators detail the traffic volumes involved, identify which equipment failed, and outline remediation steps to prevent a repeat.
