Loading ...A gentle reminder of how delicate our global network infrastructure is, via NetworkWorld:
A robot submarine was scouring the seabed 200 meters under the Mediterranean Sea on Monday trying to locate the ends of undersea cables that were cut on Friday, disrupting voice and Internet traffic.
France Telecom said its repair ship the Raymond Croze had reached the site on Sunday between Sicily and Tunisia where two of its cables were cut, disrupting traffic between Europe and many countries in Asia and the Middle East.
In total three cables were cut, two of France Telecom’s and one belonging to Reliance Globalcom. Both operator’s networks seem to be routing around the problems on the Sea Me We 4 and Sea Me We 3 routes.
