i've got an E1 circuit that goes:

Toronto -> Amsterdam (fiber)
Amsterdam -> Islamabad (satelite)
Islamabad -> Karachi (fiber)

for the last couple days, my router has been seeing an abnormally high number
of "carrier transitions".

a parse of the log shows 400+ UPDOWN syslog messages from the cisco for
today (4:pm Eastern), and some 400 for yesterday.

prior to that maybe 0-10 a day.

i've openned a ticket with the circuit provider, but by asking the list, i
was hoping to be prepared for a "must be solar flares" excuse.
