Does someone know if this is a *single* link down?? It seems bizarre to me that there would only be a single link (geographically) between those two.
Whatever happened to redundancy? Deepak
From the outside, this appeared to be more like a CEF consistency sort of thing; routes were still carrying packets to the interconnect, but the packets were not successfully making it across the interconnect. I would hazard a guess that had the link truly gone down in the classic sense, BGP would have done the more proper thing, and found a different path for the routes to propagate along.
Again, this is speculation from the outside, based on the path packets were taking before dropping on the floor. Matt

We received confirmation from Time Warner. The link between Sprint and Level3 Networks is down in Chicago. This has been an issue since 3:10 PM EST. Time Warner has a ticket open to address the issue. Not sure what it is yet.
