Alternatively, you could expect that the carrier might notice themself that there is a problem.
May be their NOCs did, (unless they were too busy reading NANOG of course). Without calling them it would be difficult to tell. Meanwhile the few of us on this list in neither NOC can pontificate about it which will no doubt be of great assistance to them in resolving the issue at hand. Sarcasm aside: If people posted 'Verio<->Sprint peering problems, Verio Ticket number nnnnn, Sprint ticket number nnnnn, apparent latency problems between west coast customers caused by peering congestion in Seattle' or whatever (not that I'm saying this is what the problem is here), this would no doubt be treated as an informative post (just like when Sean tells us about fiber cuts). If, on the other hand, nanog is used as an alternative to noc@ or your regular support channel, the s/n ratio here will get even worse. -- Alex Bligh VP Core Network, XO Communications - http://www.xo.com/ (formerly Nextlink Inc, Concentric Network Corporation GX Networks, Xara Networks)
