Akamai Edgekey issues ?

Tue Sep 3 02:33:42 UTC 2013

Here is another bit of data... www.apple.com not reachable from a machine
using Google's NS, reachable from an iPad using TWC NS

IP addresses returned by each are different ... could be load balancing, or
creative (broken) traffic engineering

But for moments packets get lost at ae0.pr1.dfw10.tbone.rr.com this also
could be TWC routing/peering issues but I don't know how many more levels
of CS I have to go to reach somebody with a clue, after testing my modem
zillion times ...
