Anyone know much about this major west coast fiber between Los Angeles and Washington that was supposed cut this morning? Our network is having gnarly problems through one of our providers and lesser ones through the other. Investigation went on for about 2 hours, whereupon i finally received an email from InterNAP talking about the problems starting at 9:45AM PDT, and being rooted in this fiber cut. My other provider has since told me that it was a Qwest fiber, and that most major transit providers were using it. Anyone heard anything else about this? Thanks, Rick Kunkel
Global crossing is reporting that SBC was horizontal boring and knocked out Quest and SBC fiber. This is 4 km north of Wolden Ave and Main St. in Red Bluff, CA. Qwest has techs on site and they're digging. -- ~Andy Brezinsky On Fri, 2006-09-29 at 12:29 -0700, Rick Kunkel wrote:

We're seeing circuits down from Sacramento, CA to Redding, CA at this time. AT&T has confirmed 4 OC-48's are cut and 5 OC-3's to us at this time.

I haven't heard anything, although we don't use InterNAP for IP nor Qwest for transit. Some of our eastern-bound IP traffic does head south (from norcal to socal). Do you have general timestamps of when the issue began? And two hours to determine a cut is pretty absurd, if you ask me. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Apparently there's a Qwest cut around Washington, no eta yet. John On Fri, Sep 29, 2006 at 12:29:28PM -0700, Rick Kunkel wrote:

Hard to argue that it ain't operational... fortunately we don't seem to be seeing any problems due to it here in the central Willamette Valley, OR. -- Jeff Shultz

Maybe the point was that it's not being effective already?
It's not perfect, and it's far from complete. Who knows, maybe we could even move the messages about "what the heck is wrong with XXXX and YYYY" off nanog. regards, /virendra -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFHZUnpbZvCIJx1bcRAqPvAJ9aJoj/bh9SbjqEQhH2xFoMtxYEygCgmcNG C4uNz12WxmRENJAdt8epKRY= =rbPN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
