If there is anything we at One Wilshire can do to assist any network in dealing with this, or recovering from the storm - let us know. We can probably facilitate some emergency cross connections or if you are connected to our IXP (Any2) nail up sessions for those carriers present within One Wilshire within a few hours.

Southern Cross Cable operations vice president, Dean Veverka, has
confirmed
that hurricane-strength storms and flooding have wiped out the carrier's Oregon cable route and halved its bandwidth between Australian and the US. Southern Cross's customers in Australia include iiNet, Internode and AAPT.
This has hit us too. It's a major PITA and seems to have been handled pretty badly by at least one T1 carrier. We've seen much of the net unreachable due to flapping BGP sessions causing route dampening on a lot of address space in Australia. Hopefully it'll be repaired soon! -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz@crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 "I said it was an upgrade. I didn't say it was better."
