Is anyone else seeing a fiber cut between Dallas and San Diego/Los Angeles?
There is no mention of it on the UUNET/Worldcom web site, but it appears to be a Worldcom circuit cut somewhere between Dallas and Los Angeles. Some folks are backup now through re-routing. Worldcom has techs on-scene resplicing the cable. No ETR.
Routing around the problem, what a concept. More backup for the 2xt1 shop to contimue doing it.. Brian "Sonic" Whalen Success = Preparation + Opportunity On 29 Aug 2001, Sean Donelan wrote:

Agreed, everyone has circuit failures. I was just making a not so subtle reference to the huge multihoming thread going on, by stating that a user multihomed with multiple providers gives themselves a better survival chance against this type of thing. Backhoes, trains, buses, union strikes, power failures. Pick your enemy.. Brian "Sonic" Whalen Success = Preparation + Opportunity On Wed, 29 Aug 2001, Patrick Greenwell wrote:

I'm still awaiting the list of providers that never have a circuit go down. :-)

You have to make sure that the different providers you're using are not sharing any part of their infrastructure though. I've had instances where both links into a place goes down because they somewhere on the way there shared who they bought some connectivity/capacity from, or went in the same pipe or whatever that was severed. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
