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.out of curiousity, what's the difference though between loss of light and peer shutdown? If the local gov't comes in and says: "Make the internets go down", you as the op choose how to do that... NOT getting calls from your peer for interface alarms is probably sane. You can simply drop your routes, leave BGP running even and roll ... If it's clear (and it seems to be) that the issue is a nation-state-decision... implementation (how it's done, no IF it's done) isn't really important, is it? -chris
