Well, this fiber cut interrupted service between MICHNET's router at AADS and the rest of Merit/MICHNET. The problem for me was the michnet router was still advertising it could reach the rest of michnet, and therefore traffic (such as nanog mail) went into the IXC fiber blackhole until I could manually re-route through somewhere else. Of course, everyone else who was in the same boat, won't see this message until the circuit is restored.
the Sean/Claus FTL sled was NOT seen in the area.
I can neither confirm nor deny access to Mr. Kringle's sled. Any sign of Qwest contractors in the area? :-) -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

It was a contractor planting trees along the fiber route, who used an auger to cut the fiber. This is a temporary splice, it will need to be repaired during a maint window, but all IXC customers affected should get notices. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.

Is this another argument for SONET rings and against tree structuring?

We got everything just fine... :) The reverse path was just a bit fuggly... And only temporarily... We fixed that real fast and all was well before the circuit was restored. And now that the circuits are back up, we are much happier. Beers are on Bert... ;) -abha ;)

At least Qwest is laying fiber. Imagine where your ISP would be if Qwest didn't resell them fiber. ;+) -Moe
