Re: Sicily to Egypt undersea cable disruption

[Marshall Eubanks <tme () multicasttech com>]

What I see from our Cogent transit is that Egypt has completely  
fallen off the map, with a normally consistent traffic gone to zero,  
but traffic to Iran, Iraq, the GCC, India and Pakistan and even Yemen  
doesn't seem to be affected, at least not noticeably.

Regards
Marshall
