Sprint duplicate packets

I don't have any NOC contacts, but since I saw the other post about Sprint
duplicates, I thought I would mention that the following Sprint router
also appears to have a problem:

# ping 144.232.9.86

Traffic going through that router only seems to double once, though.  It
has been doing it for at least two days.
