I uderstand there is 672 DS3 is cut at Philly. Does anyone have update on this outage?
The report is a MCI/Worldcom fiber cut near Philly, PA, the current ETR is 5pm EST. Depending on fiber and circuit swaps/leases UUNET, Exodus, PSI, and others have indicated they are affected. People are reporting problems as far north as Boston and as far south as Atlanta. No reported cause.
from UUNet: UUNET is currently experiencing routing instabilities resulting from a circuit outage in the Philadelphia, PA area. Senior network engineers are working closely with one of our Telco providers to quickly resolve the problem and restore quality service. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

There is not necessarily a one to one mapping between circuits purchased by UUNET and circuits sold to UUNET by WCOM. /vijay
