This could be an NNI or peering disconnect between light tower and Level3. Light tower has been doing maintenance on different nodes... They have been know to forget to notify their peers .

I don't see it going down to DC or ATL or Miami.

Hi,
Bard College at Simon's Rock (simons-rock.edu) is a small college in Southwestern Mass, with our parent campus, Bard (bard.edu), in the Hudson Valley near Rhinebeck, NY.
We use a database hosted on the main campus, and poor database performance here is often correlated with Level3 / Global Crossing issues in New York city. Today my users are complaining about slow database response, and I find that traceroutes from here, and from Level3's Looking Glass Boston page now go from NYC to Poughkeepsie via Washington, Atlanta, and Miami. This is a new routing; traces from past months went directly from NYC to Poughkeepsie.
I've reported this to our provider, who has presumably passed it along to Level3, but I'm wondering if these goofy routes are part of a work-around of some bigger issue in NYC, or just a screw up, or perhaps there is some valid business reason for this routing change?
Anyone else seeing strangeness via Level3 from NYC to the Hudson?
Here's Level3's traceroute, from http://lg.level3.net/traceroute/traceroute.cgi?site=bos1&target=hyphen.bard.... :

(In the past, we sometimes got a nice short route directly from Level3 in Boston to Lightower.net in Boston, as Lightower seems to have a direct link Poughkeepsie to Boston. However, when Level3 merged with Global Crossing, our route to Bard started going through NYC to reach Lightower, which has been more troublesome.)
Thanks for any hints you can offer.
