Thanks for the Hawaii update. As one person said, the backhoes are trying to make the end-of-month quota. Just to spread this out over a few more carriers. A person reported an OC-48 outage hit Los Angeles early this morning (gte?), so it looks like both coasts are getting hit. Today's animal incident report. A deer got tangled in some power cables at a microwave relay station outside of Colorado Springs(us west) on April 27 disrupting emergency phone service for eight hours. Why does the animal kingdom hate US West? Last year's gopher took out a US West facility too. Today's money request.

Thanks for the correction. I have never heard of these cities so I tried. Both of these outages were reported by WCOM. There are two major routes from Philly to DC. One of these routes are between Pittsburgh and DC and the alt route is between NY and DC. Remember, these are reports from WCOM. CJ Vince Fuller wrote: > > I have a report from my NOC.

Major WCOM Fiber cut in Ohio
by Brandon Applegate 30 Apr '99

30 Apr '99

Our CLEC (Time Warner Telecom) tells me that there is some type of major fiber cut on the WCOM network in Ohio. This is affecting our ability to dial LD (without a PIC code) as well as inbound on our 888 number (which is actually switched by Qwest) and several other long haul circuits. Anyone have any more info or corrections on this ?? -------------------------------------------------- Brandon Applegate, CCNA : Network Administrator http://www.one.net : brandon(a)one.net --------------------------------------------------

OUTAGE: multiple outages around the country
by Sean Donelan 30 Apr '99

30 Apr '99

There seems to be multiple outages (some providers have said fiber cuts) around the country. Places I know about are Eastern Tennessee Northern New Jersey Central Florida I don't know if there is a common cause, or if Murphy just thought it was a nice spring day. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 30 Apr '99

30 Apr '99

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Apr 30 12:00:00 PDT 1999 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
