Ya, we are going to kill worldcom for this one, they say they have 496 DS3 connections down. We have 3 connections into our Palo Alto POP, and Worldcom said they all are over different fiber paths. As of right now they all are down.
You should never trust what your sales people say. When designing your backbone, its important to ask them for your DLRs (design layout records) so that you can see physically, with your own eyes, the paths involved.
I know this, I have a copy of the DLRs. What I am saying is Worldcom changed the DLRs without letting us know, and now they all run over this fiber cut. We request a copy of the DLRs on ALL our links. We started this long ago when we had a MCI and Worldcom DS1 die because they went over the same fiber.
