The part that I was particularly concerned about was where it left qwest for BBNPlanet and got right back on Qwest. I went ahead and gave them a call (at the number listed on Jared's page), and they asked for a traceroute, etc. I gave them all the research that I had done and they just kinda fell silent when they saw my email to them. Then they said "We'll have our NOC group take a look at this.". I thought that I had called the NOC!!!! Yet more examples of clueless morons manning the phones. (Not saying that my employer is not guilty of the same :-( ),
The guilty party is AS3908, but the truely sad part is the lack of filtering from their peers. Pass the pointy hat to bbn and c&w at a minimium. http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras/3908 by my count there are around 2500 routes, most of them /24 or longer (count the /30s). And when you try to email noc@sni.net... ... while talking to uswgne21.uswest.com.:
