> No the BGP and the physical links were down. What about non-Internet layer 2 links? A number of companies have private IP networks extending into Egypt providing MPLS or other VPN services. In addition, there are often longlines into the Gulf states to provide the Egyptian sites with redundancy. Were these communications also cut?
One way to find out would be to talk to the networking folks at any major international consumer brand that is in Egypt. I would expect that nowadays if a Coke or a Pepsi is in a country, they will have some kind of IP VPN crossing that country's borders. --Michael Dillon http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=13566587
