QUOTE(gs20 @ Dec 20 2008, 01:51 PM) I'm curious, if those cables are the main cause of the international access outage, why only certain area and certain ISP is affected? Why won't it affect the whole region? different isp use different routing line. certain area also using the same principle. |

QUOTE Kabel rosak punca talian terjejas PARIS: Komunikasi telefon dan internet antara Eropah, Asia Barat dan Asia terjejas teruk kelmarin selepas tiga kabel dasar laut di Mediterranean rosak. “Punca kabel yang berada di Mediterranean antara Sicily dan Tunisia yang menghubungkan Sicily dengan Mesir terputus masih belum diketahui,” kata kenyataan dikeluarkan France Telecom tetapi menolak kemungkinan ia satu serangan. Syarikat itu berkata, mereka menghantar sebuah kapal untuk memperbetulkan talian tetapi ia hanya akan tiba ke lokasi pada Isnin dan akan mengambil masa sehingga 31 Disember sebelum perkhidmatan dapat dipulihkan. Kebanyakan talian perniagaan antara Eropah dan Asia terpaksa menggunakan talian melalui Amerika Syarikat, kata firma itu tetapi komunikasi biasa antara Eropah dan beberapa negara Asia terjejas sejak awal kelmarin. Sebanyak 65 peratus laluan ke India terputus, manakala perkhidmatan ke Singapura, Malaysia, Arab Saudi, Mesir, Taiwan dan Pakistan juga terjejas teruk, kata seorang jurucakap kelmarin. Kenyataan France Telecom berkata, 100 peratus laluan terputus di pulau Lautan Hindi, Maldives dengan negara Arab seperti Qatar dan Djiboti di Teluk Aden juga kehilangan hampir 70 peratus laluan mereka. - AFP Added on December 21, 2008, 11:28 amALERT: Undersea cable fault disrupts some TM Internet services(Bernama) KUALA LUMPUR, SUN: Telekom Malaysia Berhad ™ has reported disruption in its Internet services due to circuit faults on the submarine cable network linking Malaysia and Europe, and said the services would be completely restored by Dec 31. TM said in a statement today that customers using its Internet services may experience slow browsing while accessing websites hosted in Europe and that those using other IP (Internet Protocol) services such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) and other critical business applications linked to Europe may also experience some service degradation. It said the affected cables, on the Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 (SMW4) submarine network between Palermo in southern Italy and Alexandria in northern Egypt, were being repaired and that some of the links, meanwhile, had been re-routed to ease congestion. During the restoration process, traffic to northern America may experience minor degradation while traffic to other countries is unaffected, it said. Customers can call TM at 100 and select “Internet Services” or e-mail TM at help@tm.com.my regarding Internet-related problems, it added. source: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Sun...icle/index_html This post has been edited by birain: Dec 21 2008, 11:28 AM |
