Re: Sicily to Egypt undersea cable disruption

  • From: Marshall Eubanks
  • Date: Wed Jan 30 21:23:50 2008

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.

Marshall

Huge swathes of the Middle East and Asia have been left without internet
access after a vital undersea cable was damaged.


For what its worth, Todd Underwood has a very good overview of the
countries affected by this outage over on the Renesys Blog here:
