We've been seeing significant packet loss across the Sprintlink circuit between MAE West and their Stockton POP. I note that there's a big hike in RTT at the Stockton POP: sl-mae-w-F0/0.sprintlink.net (198.32.136.11) 15 ms 39 ms 13 ms sl-stk-6-H3/0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.10.45) 224 ms 185 ms 222 ms On Oct 2nd, I heard something along the lines that route damping was in effect (this was from Sprintlink). I presume what was meant was route flapping was eating CPU. Does anyone have any information on what's taking place? There's a heck of a lot of traffic that flows across this path, and the packet loss is killing performance (and making the phone ring). Thanks, mb
