I did some Google searches and that region has had large scale disruptions in the past. Several cables follow the same path to the Suez canal and were hit.
I guess this begs the question of whether or not we're seeing actual layer1 going down or just the effects of mass BGP withdrawals. Are we seeing lights out on fibre links or just peering sessions going down? Both could still point to a coordinated intentional blackout by the Egyptian gov't though. -- /*=================[ Jake Khuon <khuon () NEEBU Net> ]=================+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | -------- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| NETWORKS | +==================================================================*/
