[AusNOG] Syria cut's itself off!

[Narelle]

I have it on good authority that there are three undersea cables heading
into Syria and one that comes overland from Turkey.

For all of these to be cut simultaneously they would need to be coming
through an unlikely common path, to let me think, the one exchange, to the
one set of routers all controlled by the one company... say Syrian
Telecommunications...

I understand the routes were all withdrawn systematically, so this doesn't
suggest fibre cuts, but deliberate reconfiguration of routers.

See:

Reminds me of Libya. That's what happened then.
