This is fourth-hand, but this was posted on the NANOG list:
Found out from an upstream provider that Sprint might be having some major backbone issues right now.
A number of their backbone routers are down. This is third hand information but would seem to make sense considering what we're seeing here. We dropped our sprint connection until this clears up but reachability to any site that is on their network or uses them for transit is iffy at best.
There are also reports they are advertising routes they don't have, possibly because of the backbone outage. The Internet Health Report (http://www.internetpulse.net/) definitely sees some flakiness. -- Jim Goltz <jgoltz@mail.nih.gov> CIT/DCSS/HSB/ASIG 12/2216 DCSS Firewall group on-call: 240-338-2103

Sprint's own performance map is showing 7% to 8% packet loss out of St. Louis. https://www.sprint.net/performance/ ~Seth
Jim: My posting about Sprint was from Friday. Our upstream provider re-peered with them Sunday at 1 am.

Funny how when you look at: https://www.sprint.net/performance/ everything seems OK, but IHR reports differently. ;) Frank -----Original Message----- From: Goltz, Jim (NIH/CIT) [E] [mailto:jgoltz@mail.nih.gov] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 4:03 PM To: 'Frank Bulk'; outages@outages.org Subject: RE: [outages] Sprint issue in Chicago?
