| Redundancy? I know of an attack on the NOC of a CLEC here. Put a few shotgun shells in some racks and then in himself. Nothing blinked in terms of service. I think the NOCs are plenty secure based on many that I have seen.
The cables running outside of them are pitifully protected. You can walk up to almost any standalone NOC and see the cabling running out from the building. Snip snip, its gone.
There really should be more security on the cabling of our systems, and no one loop in the field should take out anyone. |
