Hello,
Do you see any issue between UUNet and TeleGlobe in East coast?
No.

First off, the actual border between UU and Teleglobe is between hops 10 and 11. Since the IP block for the /30 is owned by UU, Teleglobe probably (either intentionally or unintentionally) did not exchange the PTR info w/UU. You can tell this a couple of ways: a) UU's "BR" router designation (Border Router) b) The lack of the "ix" name on the first Teleglobe interface you see c) 204.255.174.197 == POS2-3.BR3.DCA6.ALTER.NET The rest, without knowing anything about Teleglobe's infrastructure in particular, looks like a Cisco MPLS-ism. When decrementing ttl through the lsp is turned on, you see the latency for the end of the tunnel on every reply. Since the rtt is a) consistant for every hop afterwards, and b) ends in a place where that rtt makes sense, it is a dead giveaway:
