Anyone else seeing routing instability through UUNET or have any more details? I saw a significant drop in my inbound and outbound traffic to them around 10:00AM EDT. UUNET has a prompt on their phone menus about network instability, but didn't elaborate. Their NOC doesn't have any more details as of yet that they're passing along.
