This is from InterNAP just now. -Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Notification Report Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 8:45 PM To: Notification Report Subject: [EVENT UPDATE/RESOLUTION] Sprint Latency issues 20060109 [190743] Hello, As of 23:16 EST today, we have re-enabled the BGP peering with Sprint in all of our PNAPs. We were previously seeing latency, minor packet loss and path problems, which may have caused minor issues with your circuit(s). Sprint traced this issue to be a fiber cut affecting a number of their IP services throughout the United States, including their BGP sessions with Internap in our LAX, SJE, DEN, WDC, CHG, NYC, and OCY PNAPs. You can read the press release from Sprint on this issue at the following link: http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=9680 While the fiber cut was being repaired, we had turned down our BGP sessions until further notice from Sprint. We received notification from Sprint at approximately 22:12 EST that all services were restored, and have completed turning Sprint back up in all PNAPs at approximately 23:16. While we turned the BGP sessions back up, customers may have noticed some sub-optimal routing or slight latency as traffic to/from the Sprint network was re-routed back to using Sprint. We are seeing stable connectivity at this time, and believe the issue to be resolved. In the meantime, we will continue to closely monitor this situation throughout the evening to ensure that everything remains stable. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. Internap will continue to track this issue under ticket #190743. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Network Operations Center at noc@internap.com, or call us at 877.843.4662. Thanks, -Mike
