Using the looking glass from TWtelecom, we saw 30-60min outage (roughly
8:30AM to 9:30AM CST) between the Kansas City location and our own
server room in Kansas City. Other TWtelecom locations appeared to be
unaffected. Perhaps TWtelecom is served by Timewarner or shares
equipment in KC. Either way, none of our KC customers who were served
via TWtelecom or Timewarner were able to reach us. Packets would hit
Level 3 Communications and die in either direction at the border between
L3 and TW. FWIW, TW was showing a good BGP route to us and vise versa.
