Anyone know the impact on the XO Routing/Peering that is happening right now? We have had spotty connectivity for the last hour.

I don't know the exact impact but I've had my Covad and AT&T customers ready to hang me because of what's going on. As of right this moment, my Covad connections are slowly coming back but have been acting spotty, I haven't heard complaints about the AT&T side for about 30-40 minutes. My POV, Covad is shaky because of their peering to XO. AT&T might have corrected itself. David Hubbard wrote:
I know their own phone systems went down, or perhaps were overloaded; we lost our office connection to them but our phones remained online. I called their tech line by cell, was told thanks for calling XO, we are experiencing technical difficulties and then it hung up on me. :-) This seems to happen about once a month with them though so I'm used to it.

Their own phone systems... I have a lot of clients whose providers peer with XO whose phone systems went kaput (one way audio, resolved, nope, resolved, nope). This is one of the downsides of working an ITSP. Trying to explain to clients why another provider they've never heard of is impacting their business.
