Savvis has confirmed they are working with UUNet on a routing problem. What 
we were seeing is UUNet routes being announced by Savvis which UUNet's 
gateway was unable to reach. Many sites such as www.ibm.com and www.cnn.com 
were affected. Via our UUNet connections, these sites are all reachable 
without any problem.

UUNet also confirmed they had backbone problems which they claim were fixed 
about 20 minutes ago. However, we are still seeing the unreachable UUNet 
announcements from Savvis.

The UUNet tech mumbled something about Tyson's Corner VA, but I am seeing 
unreachable AS701 route announcements from AS6347 in New York. UUNet says 
it is fixed. Savvis says it is a UUNet problem. I just turned down our 
Savvis port...
