i'm not sure one necessarily fails to the other... if people don't subscribe to the other for restoral or if they're supersmart-- to one of the transrussia overland routes, they're out of luck.
i frankly don't believe enough capacity exists on the transrussia cables to backup swm3 and swm4.
i work for a network based across the pond

Does anyone across the pond have any further insight into this cut?
Although SEA-ME-WE 3 and 4 are suppose to provide redundancy for eachother, not sure what impact has SMW4 segment caused, maybe latency?
Any feedback will be appreciated.

There's a cut in SWM4
*SMW4 Segment 4.1 cable fault*
Cable shunt fault developed on SMW4 segment 4.1 (Egypt / Alexandria Branching Unit #4A onward France / Marseilles) at 07:15GMT on 14-Apr. 2010. However the shunt fault has further deteriorated and the cable segment was down at 10:03GMT. Only four unprotected Singapore London / Frankfurt STM-4c IP trunks were being affected.
SMW4 NOC updated that there is a shunt fault in segment 4.1 between Egypt / Alexandria and France / Marseilles with cable fault on Fiber Pair #2 at 1886.152 km from Alexandria towards Palermo. The traffic landed at Palermo onwards to Europe was being affected, while the traffic running between Alexandria and Marseilles via Fiber Pair #1 is still maintained.

Thanks, Adam
