(replying to this thread from nanog on outages...) like david below, we've been getting reports this morning from customers unable to reach various web sites. investigating a number of these reports, the one commonality is level3 in chicago. sites are reachable from level3/cincinnati but not level3/chicago. traceroutes make it one hop past our bgp peer and seem to die there. for one particular remote web server (node1104.follett.com, and possibly others) traceroutes and pings from level3's looking glass (using chicago as the site) complete successfully, while neither does when ran from my gear through the same site.

Also peering problems in Chicago, had to drop BGP to them until they figure it out. Reported it 4 hours ago, no good response yet. Gary
