[Outages] Abovenet fibre cut; Washington D.C.

[Jeremy Chadwick]

At around 09:57 PST, we saw heavy amounts of packet loss via our
Abovenet connection via the Fort Worth/Dallas area.

Abovenet's IP group has stated that there's a fibre cut in the
Washington D.C. area which is affecting their "southern route",
and peering between Chicago<->DC, FTW/Dallas<->DC, and northern
Virginia<->DC was affected.

Reconvergence took place (for the west coast) in San Jose, going
out of four OC48s destined to Chicago, but those became saturated.

I don't have any other details, other than an RFO will be provided.
