still seeing decent ping times. anyone detect an actual outage or issue?
Best info we have is that there are two outages. One has existed for the last 3 weeks or so between Tuckerton (New Jersey) and Bude (UK). It takes out the "southern path" across the atlantic.
There is a second outage between Bude (UK) and Katwijk (NL). For circuits that landed in London or France this (should have) taken out the redundant path for those circuits.
Circuits from Tuckerton (New Jersey) or Manasquan (New Jersey) to Katwijk (NL), Norden (DE), or some city in Denmark who's name I forget should still be up on the northern path.
So, if you're in London or France your circuits are likely to be down, however some people in those locations used Contentinal capacity to link up to Katwijk, in which case they might still be operational.
I confirm that France is having some problem with TAT14. France Telecom International Backbone (Opentransit) is currently running with non TAT14 capacity (10G) and one oc48 direct to Copenhagen (that is ok). We (Opentransit) are currently not experiencing any congestion but are implementing a new 10G circuit to secure our topology until TAT14 is back to life (one leg at least).
Both problems are undersea issues, so don't expect speedy resolution if you are down.
Yep .. i heard days ... not hours :-( Vincent, Opentransit (France Telecom)
