The thing that doesn't make sense to me in all of this is that SONET is supposed to be built as RINGS. With a Service side and a Protect side to each switch. BIFF should, in theory, only take out one or the other, but not both. WHY, with what we pay these carriers every month, do they not divergent-path route these critical wide-area links so that this isn't fatal?
I suppose because you account for about 0.0001% of their total revenue. Hey, youre lucky for our accountabilty you could shove a few extra naughts in the middle ;-( At the end of the day, are you going to cancel all your circuits with them? I doubt it - I have been tempted with certian telcos but the cost and hassle, all *after* the downtime has occured ain't always worth it. I bet the telcos are betting on that.
