We should be asking the Egyptians to stagger the return of services so that infrastructure isn't affected, when connectivity is deemed to be allowed to come back online. Andrew Wallace --- British IT Security Consultant

Well, yeah, it has to be done carefully, otherwise the first guy to turn on an E1 line that announces routes for the entire country is going to have his router overheat and the blue smoke get out.... If we're lucky, the Army won't damage too much as they either win or lose. -- ---- Thanks; Bill Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so far.

It depends on what remains functional after the fact. If there is no demand for traffic, then routes will be stable and the session will stay active. If the link fills, the session bounces as packets get dropped. It also depends on whether the person turning up that first E1 actually has much behind them and whether those people have much connectivity that doesn't require shrapnel removal. --- Wayne Bouchard web@typo.org Network Dude http://www.typo.org/~web/
