[AusNOG] SEA-ME-WE 3 cut again

[Eric Appelboom]

Hi, FYI

SEA-ME-WE 3 was cut again this Sunday.
Were seeing double the roundtrip that we saw when compared the the outage last year July which took eight weeks to repair.

As spoke over the phone, the increased in latency or RTD is related to submarie cable fault [SMW3 S3.3(Perth - BU)]. Path between Korea and Australia has been changed to traversing KR <> JP <> AU/Sydney <> AU/Perth, thus additional delay is expected.
 
The fault has been detected on 11/30 0339 UTC and is located at about 1155 km from Singapre TUAS cable station near tha Jakarta branching unit. Cable repair schedule is to be advised once available.
