[outages] Verizon Business OC-48 in Philly, S. New Jersey down

[Bill Wichers]

I've seen plenty of SONET "rings" where both sides are in the same cable. Not too much protection when doing things that way...

I think the southern cross cable system had some customers that discovered several years back that running production traffic on both sides of your ring can seem like a great way to double capacity until a major storm goes through and blows away one of the cables and you don't have any capacity left for protection on the remaining side of the ring.
