<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< did ya think about BGP extensions... It could be a
host of things, like communitites, MEDs, you name it.

We connect to level3 in Ashburn/DC and saw traffic drop 50% in both
directions on that port.  Testing showed 100% loss on 50% of the flows.
We shut that port down and now it won't come back up.  I have link but
no arp for their IP.  This is a new link that was turned up in the past
few weeks.
