A bit more "clue"... :)

1) If its been discussed before, I was out that day... But it seems
that CERF NET route-server isn't quite authoritative:

route-server>sho ip bgp 204.107.90.128
% Network not in table

route-server>sho ip bgp

route-server>


2) The other route-server it wasn't showing up in is my "backup"
provider. I'm trying to get clarification, but I think my backup provider
relies too heavily on my primary provider. So yea, it would make sense, if
Level3 had an issue, that the provider USING L3 would have an issue.

3) I've gotten zip from L3 about any of this.



Can anyone atleast, once again, despite a certain list members
contentions, tell me I'm not crazy. That someone else SOMEWHERE saw it?
(Or more DIDN'T see RR. :) )

Thanks, Tuc

From a cursory glance seems to be ok from where I'm currently looking from
(at&t), then again I haven't done my technical diligence. Will need to look
further and I'm sure someone will pipe up.

Do you have any traceroutes, route stats, etc to give us as to what you are
experiencing?

No, no traceroutes since when I'd query BGP, it just said that the network
didn't exist in the table like :

***route-server***>sho ip bgp 71.74.56.243
% Network not in table
***route-server***>sho ip route 71.74.56.243
% Subnet not in table


(Only output I captured... But I know that Cerfnet did this too.)

Looks like Level3 has trouble in Atlanta.

I'm in Memphis, with servers in Atlanta and Dallas. I'm currently seeing
transit from my residential connection to Atlanta through PCCW instead
of L3. Never would have noticed had I not seen your post, but PCCW is
not my normal route.
