Reason:
A fiber cut between Vancouver and Abbotsford of primary and
spare fibers. Technicians had difficulty in identifying the
break location. A temporary splice has been completed
including fiber cleaning and re-terminating. The fiber
providers will be setting up a maintenance window at a later
date to complete a permanent splice.
Effects:
All routed services between Vancouver and Calgary, Kamloops,
and Kelowna were automatically re-routed to backup services.
Lightpaths and specific VLANs were affected during this
window with most re-routed as necessary.
Some Vancouver sites experienced network congestion while
the re-routing was in effect as the backup services were
overloaded during peak usage.
