Following the outage the routes changed dramatically and pretty often as the carriers found alternate routes. Before the cut the routes went Eastwards across the US via ESnet, then via GEANT (including routers at Vienna and Italy) to Egypt. Immediately following the cut starting at 23:43 Dec 18th (PST), traffic still went Eastwards but via NTT and London and FLAG across Europe to Alexandria. At 15:32 on Dec 19th the route switched to going Westwards via Singapore using TATA as the carrier beyond the US. Later it went Westwards from Palo Alto in California to Tokyo and Hong Kong using FLAG (until ~13:35 Dec 20th). At 14:52 Dec 20th, it switched to TeleGlobe and TATA going westwards via Singapore. Then on Dec 21st at 03:15 it switched to using Cogent and went eastwards via Boston, London and Paris.
