Unplanned outage: Level3 fiber cut between Portland and Seattle, 0916-

[David Crowe, Jr.]

Level3 repaired the outage early this evening and the circuit has been
stable since then.  Traffic was moved back onto it and normalized around
2230 this evening.

We do not expect any continuing issues.

Please contact the NERO NOC if you have any questions.
