y'all, there has has been a lot of speculation that this is all some US prelude to war with iran. while i don't claim to know much about whether that makes any sense, i do know that if they're trying to disconnect iran from the internet, they're doing a lousy job: http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/02/attention_iran_is_not_disconne_1.shtml we (renesys) have been tracking (at layer 3) this set of outages (see the previous 3 postings at: http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/01/mediterranean_cable_break.shtml http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/01/mediterranean_cable_break_part_1.shtml and http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/02/mediterranean_cable_break_part.shtml for a view of this from a routing perspective among out peer set) and iran is not even one of the 10 most affacted countries. it certainly all seems suspcious and worrisome, but it does not seem that iran is the target of a competent campaign to disrupt its telecommunications (slashdot paranoia notwithstanding). i'll be interested to hear more about what is found about the physical layer causes. t. -- _____________________________________________________________________ todd underwood +1 603 643 9300 x101 renesys corporation general manager babbledog todd () renesys com http://www.renesys.com/blog
