Re: Rogers Outage Canada

[Pete Baldwin - TCC <pete () tccmail ca>]

Seems like their external BGP peers are dead.  If their internal network 
is the same, and they carry M2PA etc, or use BGP/MPLS to carry SS7 
traffic, or their softswitches/STPs rely on BGP/MPLS in some way then 
SS7 might exist, but not be functional.
