Hi,

The report from renesys states that

"We initially stated that Sudan=92s outage began at 12:47 UTC because that
was when virtually all Sudanese routed networks were withdrawn from the
global routing table"

If its a deliberate action to remove Sudan from the Internet then what
exactly would the ISPs in Sudan have done? Drop their peering sessions with
the three International gateways? How were the "Sudanese routed networks
withdrawn"?

Glen
