I understand all the carriers have people working very hard to fix the cut, but the question which is rarely asked and even more rarely answered is where was the physical diversity in those carriers networks? Did these carriers know about this vulnerability in their network? When customers asked, were the customers told? What are MFN or Worldcom sales people telling customers who ask what happened to their network diversity? ---- The above contributed by Sean Donelan on the NANOG List. ---- As an aside (This is FAC speaking now), today I had cause to send out a bulletin to about a dozen folks across multiple orgs. Three of them were MFN types. All of the MFN emails bounced. There were no WCOM recipients on the list, so I don't know how they are weathering, although I would suspect that their ubiquity and the sheer number of routes that they have would lend to a greater likelihood of recoverability. Sean Donelan above is saying, and you seem to be agreeing, that MFN customers were down as a result of the Baltimore tunnel problem. In the MFNX Press Release first posted by Curtis Beamis in message 3388 and repeated here for convenience: biz.yahoo.com . . . This effort restores MFN's network to a fully redundant state. MFN's Internet customers experienced no service interruption due to the damage or during the repairs as IP traffic had been immediately rerouted following the incident. . . . MFN is saying that their customers did not have any outage, and that indeed they were working hard to reinstate redundancy, not service. In light of their statement, do you, or possibly Sean Donelan since I don't know how to reach him, have any other information which would call into doubt the statements from MFN?
